I found a recipe for "Simple White Cake" on AllRecipes and after reading all the comments made some recommended adjustments. I also made a mistake and misread 2 eggs as 3 eggs. It was the best cake I've ever eaten, so I'm sharing it here.

Ingredients
- 1 cup White Sugar
- 1/2 cup softened butter

- 1 tbsp Vanilla Extract

Pre Prep

The magic

A little extra...
