THIS CAKE IS FROM AN OLD, OLD COOK BOOK. THE BOOK IS SO OLD THERE WERE NO DIRECTIONS FOR MIXING. THE RECIPE DOES NOT CALL FOR VANILLA. DO NOT ADD IT. THE CAKE IS BEST MIXED BY HAND, NOT WITH AN ELECTRIC MIXER. IT HAS THAT OLD-FASHIONED TEXTURE AND TASTE. IT IS WONDERFUL. THE RECIPE CALLS FOR BUTTER AND LARD, I CHANGED IT TO CANOLA OIL BECAUSE FOR HEALTH PURPOSES. MsMai
