Three Egg Cake - Grandma Humpherys

 This makes a fairly dense cake - it's the recipe I always use for trifle or strawberry shortcake because it doesn't soak up the pudding or sauce and get soggy.  

Ingredients:  

¾ C. butter

1 ½ C. Milk

3 Eggs

1 ½ C. sugar

3 C. Flour

4 ½ tsp. Baking Powder
1/2 tsp  Salt 

1 ½ tsp. Vanilla

Heat Milk and butter until butter is melted and milk is hot (be careful not to scorch).  While Milk is heating, beat eggs lightly and add sugar.  Cool milk slightly and add to egg/sugar mixture.  Add flour, salt, baking powder and vanilla.  Grease sheet cake pan or 9 x 13 cake pan.  Sprinkle with sugar to prevent sticking.  Bake at 350* for 25-30 minutes (or less if using sheet cake pan).
