Inexpensive Sponge Cake

from the 1950 edition of Betty Crocker's Picture Cook Book


Generously grease and flour 8 inch square pan or 12 muffin cups
Preheat oven to 350.
2 eggs
Beat with a mixer or rotary beater until very light.
1 Cup sugar
1/4 t salt
1 tsp flavoring, I used vanilla but lemon or butter extract would be good too
Beat in
1 T butter melted in 1/2 Cup very hot milk I heated them in the microwave
carefully beat in to sugar and egg mixture.
1 Cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
add to wet ingredients, stir together quickly and immediately pour into prepared pan. Bake until cake tests done.
28-35 minutes for cake
18-20 minutes for cupcakes.
Betty suggest to serve it fresh with fruit like berries, bananas and peaches, top with whipped cream.
