Playing For You From Our Scented Cottage..

Think what a better world it would be if we all, the whole world, had cookies and milk about three o'clock every afternoon and then lay down on our blankets for a nap.

Irish Tea Cake...


There is nothing like the aroma of baked goods coming from your cottage kitchen that creates the warm, cozy feeling of home. This is a simple tea cake that is wonderful as is, or you can add raisins, dried cherries, etc. to "dress it up." Create memories today with something wonderful from your oven.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, softened (I use I can't believe it's not butter)
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup confectioners sugar for dusting

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9 inch round pan.

In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time then stir in the vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; stir into the batter alternately with the milk. It will be a very thick batter. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.

Bake for 30 to 35 minutes in the oven, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack, then turn out onto a serving plate. Dust with confectioners sugar right before serving.
