Aunt Gracie's Cake


This is a recipe from my husband's family. We are not exactly sure who Aunt Gracie is or how long this recipe has been around but my Mother-in-Law and my husband's Aunt rave over it. I tried it out today. Its amazing. It calls for red food coloring which makes the cake pink but I'm sure you could use whatever color you wanted.


2 cups flour

2 cups sugar

1 cup milk

3 eggs

1 cup butter

1 tsp baking powder

pinch of salt

1 tsp vanilla

1 tsp red food coloring ( you could use what ever you want its just want the recipe says)

Cream butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla, and food coloring together. Add remaining ingredients. Bake in a bunt pan(greased) for about 75 minutes at 325.

Serve plain, with butter frosting or a glaze. I'm doing a glaze. The cake is light and fluffy.
