White Cake

This is my grandma's recipe for a basic white cake. Then she would add ingredients to make it a chocolate cake, banana cake, strawberry cake, pumpkin with chocolate chip cake, walnut cake... you name it!

For the Tres Leches recipe, I added almond and vanilla extracts.

Ingredients
2-3/4 c flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 c brown sugar
1 c non-dairy margarine
3/4 c almond or soy milk
3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
other flavors (optional)

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Beat butter and sugar.
Sift together the rest of the dry ingredients, then add to the butter. Mix together until crumbly.
Add half of the liquid and one egg. Beat until creamy.
Add the other half of the liquid and two eggs. Add any flavoring and beat until creamy.

Pour batter into a greased and floured a cake pan.

Bake in a 9 x 13 pan for approximately 1 hour.
Bake cupcakes for approximately 35 minutes.

Let it cool completely before frosting.
