  • 2.5 cups of sugar
  • 1 tbs of vanilla

  2. When all of this together, star adding flour(combined with baking powder and salt), milk and vainila, alternating constantly.

This cake was a hibrid between a pound cake and a cake, the only difference with the one with the cheff, was that her's was a little more moist, but nOt much. :) 

Actually they both taste amazing, but the last one got me out of troubles.
