My mom Alice used to make this cake for all of our family functions. I make it now for birthdays and it is famous with everyone. It is delicious even without icing (tastes great with buttercream too)

  • 3 cups sugar
    1 tsp vanilla extract

    recommended to have butter, eggs and milk at room temp. but works well either way
