Recipe of the Week - White Cake Recipe
We decided we needed an Easter cake that was simple and good. This is a great cake that is easy to make and allows you the freedom to decorate in your own style. A funny thing happened on the way to this post. We took this photo with an I-phone, and one of us, not mentioning names, held the phone upside down or left-handed. This resulted is a photo of a cake that defied gravity; hanging upside down, clinging to the plate. After an hour of trying to right the photo, I was able to get it to appear right-side up, or at least I hope it does.
The grandkids love this cake and I believe you will too.

- 12 oz flour, all-purpose
