Sift flour with all dry ingredients and add to creamed mixture along with milk.

Pour into 2 greased and floured 9 inch cake pans OR into 1 greased and floured 9" X 13" pan. (Mom always used the 9" X 13" pan for this cake.

Bake at 350F for 30 to 40 minutes, or until done.

Note

To make sour milk, add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and stir. Let the mixture sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes until it thickens and begins to curdle slightly. This acidified milk is a great substitute for buttermilk in many recipes.

This is a recipe of my Mom and is delicious.
