This very moist yellow cake recipe comes from my boyfriend's grandmother. We usually serve it with chocolate buttermilk icing.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter
- 2 cups white sugar
- 4 eggs
- 2.5 cups self-rising flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Instructions
-
1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour three 8 inch pans.
-
2
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.

Chocolate Lovers' Fudge with Jack Daniel's® Whiskey
This dense, rich fudge has a special secret--a couple of shots of Jack Daniel's® Whiskey! Not enough to overpower, but there is just enough to let you know it's there. No special equipment is required other than a double boiler, and if you don't have one, you can create one by using a bowl or smaller pot over a larger pot for the hot water. Just make sure the smaller bowl or pot doesn't touch the water as it bubbles. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer.
Toffee Sauce
This is a great sauce for ice cream topping, or for a fruit fondue. Can also be used for topping cakes, as it thickens when it cools. Serve warm over ice cream, or place in fondue pot over low heat to keep warm and dip apples, pears, pineapple, strawberries, bananas, and orange wedges.
