0:20
by beating up one stick of butter that's
0:23
been held at room temperature and one
0:25
cup of sugar and I'm just gonna beat
0:28
that until it's light and kind of fluffy
0:30

0:33
gonna add to it one at the time this
0:37

0:41
landlady mrs. Sybil Barnett all right so
0:47
I'm gonna add that one egg at the time
0:54
all right one more egg I love making
0:59
cakes then I can use my little hand
1:02
mixer with they seem a lot less
1:04
intimidating and a lot easier to throw
1:07
them together when I don't have to pull
1:10
out that big mixer all right now to this
1:14
I'm gonna add a teaspoon of vanilla and
1:21
then I'm gonna come over here I'm gonna
1:23
take one cup of all-purpose flour
1:30
all right into that I'm gonna add about
1:33
an eighth of a teaspoon of salt I'm
1:38
gonna add one teaspoon of baking powder
1:43
and I'm just gonna take this over here
1:47

1:58

2:39
2 pan over here that I've greased and
2:43
floured and I've got my oven preheated
2:47

2:52
25 or 30 minutes right now I'm gonna
3:00

3:31
start with a stick of butter
3:32
all right now I'm gonna add a cup of
3:34
sugar and now I'm gonna add 1/3 of a cup
3:40
of evaporated milk I'm using evaporated
3:44
milk because it's not as thick as
3:46
sweetened condensed milk
3:50
