Nana's Quick Cake

My Quick Cake
1 (slight) cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cube butter (melted)
1 cup milk
flour mixture
- 1 3/4 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- pinch of salt

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Put stick of butter in pan in oven while preheating to melt the butter. Take it out before it burns and swirl around pan to coat.

Beat sugar and eggs 'til lemon color.

Add vanilla and mix.

Alternate adding milk and flour mixture until combined.

Bake at 350 degrees for 30 min.

Note: Above is mostly what is on the recipe card. I'm guessing the milk is whole (or whatever you have) and I'm guessing the pan is a 9 x 11" cake pan. It's probably a good idea to grease and flour the pan before adding the batter. - Jennifer

Chocolate Frosting
1/2 stick butter
2 squares Baker's unsweetened chocolate
1 cup powdered sugar
cream
1 teaspoon vanilla (optional)

Melt 1/2 stick of butter and add 2 squares of Bakers's unsweetened Chocolate.

Put 1 cup of powdered sugar in a bowl and pour over melted butter and chocolate.

Add more powder sugar and cream to make the right consistency.

Can add 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of vanilla if you want but you don't need to add the vanilla.

Note: Again, this is what Nana told me. I'm guessing the butter is unsalted since that's typical in baking and you can probably use milk instead of cream if you don't have it. - Jennifer
