This is the best cake! Mom used to make this margarine cake all the time when we were growing up. I searched and searched for this recipe on the web, but I never did find it. Luckily, I found a scrap of paper with the instructions scribbled on it.

- 3 cups white sugar
- 1.5 cups margarine or butter , softened
- 5 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
