Ingredients

    Cake:

    1 C. Butter
    3 C. Sugar
    5 Eggs
    3 C. Flour
    1/8 tsp salt

    1/3 C. Soft Butter
    3-4 Tbsp. Milk

Tips

I sometimes add vanilla extract to the icing as well. I make my own vanilla extract using vodka and vanilla beans.


Directions

Cake: Preheat oven to 325. Cream butter, shortening and sugar. Add 1 egg at the time and beat. Sift dry ingredients together in a separate bowl and add alternately with the milk. Add vanilla. Bake 1-1 1/2 hours depending on pan (I used rectangular 9x13 pan baked for an hour) until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Let cool about 20 minutes before turning out onto dish.

Icing: Beat all ingredients until well blended and creamy.

Ice completely cooled cake. Makes roughly 18 square slices. You may not get the same number of slices, depending how large you slice.
