Newest Yellow Cake Recipe Experiment

(photo to come)

I put together an awesome cake recipe from scratch. Loved it used it all the time until we did the gluten free/casein free diet, and because I didn't write it down, it got lost. So, I'm still searching for that best birthday cake or cupcake recipe. This is the latest in that search. I found it on AllRecipes.com and it has an awesome flavor and texture. It's not Duncan Hines, but it's really good.

1 cup butter
2 cups white sugar
4 eggs
2 1/2 cups self-rising flour
1 cup milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract 

In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Combine the milk and vanilla, add alternately to the creamed mixture with the flour, ending with the flour. Mix only as much as necessary. Pour into the prepared pans. 

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven. Cake will pull away from the sides of the pan slightly when done. Allow cakes to cool in the pans for a few minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour three 8 inch pans.
