    DIRECTIONS

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x9 inch pan or line a muffin pan with paper liners.

    In a medium bowl, cream together the sugar and butter. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Combine flour and baking powder, add to the creamed mixture and mix well. Finally stir in the milk until batter is smooth. Pour or spoon batter into the prepared pan.

    Bake for 30 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven. For cupcakes, bake 20 to 25 minutes. Cake is done when it springs back to the touch.

    If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there. Go here https://bitly.im/aOhZL

    The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true

    This is a recipe from a Brazilian woman whose mother would make this cake and serve it with tea.

    Mother’s Plain Cake

    Ingredients:

    2 cups cake flour

    2 tablespoons cornmeal or oatbran (her secret ingredient)

    1 cup sugar

    1 dash salt

    1 tablespoon baking powder

    1 cup warm milk (another secret)

    1/2 cup oil

    2 eggs

    Directions:

    1) Mix dry ingredients in a bowl. Add milk and oil. Mix well.

    2) In a separate small bowl, beat eggs and add to the mixture and beat one minute or about 60 strokes. The more you beat the better.

    3) Bake in two small oiled and floured loaf-cake pans for 40 minutes at 375˚F (190˚C). Serve plain or with a lime glaze.

    Lime and Poppy Seed Glaze for Mother’s Plain Cake

    Ingredients:

    4 tablespoons lime juice

    4 tablespoons sugar

    Poppy seeds (optional)

    Directions:

    1) Put lime juice and sugar in a small saucepan and simmer over medium heat for 1-2 minutes until the sugar is dissolved.

    2) Remove from heat, poke holes in top of warm cake with toothpick or fork and spoon the warm glaze over the cooked cake. Sprinkle poppy seed.

    If you had more eggs, I would make her grandmother's angel food cake:

    Grandma’s Angel Food Cake

    Ingredients:

    6 egg whites

    6 egg yolks

    3 cups flour

    3 cups sugar

    1 cup water

    Directions:

    1) Preheat the oven 350 degrees. Grease a 12 inch deep round pan.

    2) With an electric mixer at high speed, beat egg whites with one dash cream of tartar or salt until they form soft peaks. Gradually beat in sugar, egg yolks, water and flour until just combined.

    3) Pour batter into greased round pan. Bake 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from oven immediately, cool on a rack. Garnish as desired.

    For filling, you can use dulce de leche and whipped cream as a topping. You can add strawberries and blueberries on top. Or for an orange angel food cake, add fresh orange juice to the batter instead of water and drizzle cake in pan while still hot with a sweet orange glaze.

    Nah. I just buy cake mix and dump a can of diet soda in it- no other ingredients. Works great and eliminates tons of fat and calories.
