Personal Notes:
When I was in elementary school, Grandmom Evans got her first electric mixer and with it got
a box of cake flour since the other flour we used was bought at the feed mill and very heavy. On the side of the Softasilk Cake Flour box was this recipe which has been used by all for the past 65 years. It’s a good one!
