Since tomorrow is St Patty’s Day, I wanted to try a new recipe this year. I saw this Irish tea cake and decided to try it. It’s a simple butter cake recipe that is so easy to make and goes so well with coffee or tea. Erin go Brach!!!!!
1/2 cup butter softened
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 3/4 cup flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup powdered sugar
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9 inch pan
In a medium bowl, cream together the butter, and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing until fully incorporated, stir in the vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt, stir into the batter alternately with the milk. If the batter is too thick, a tablespoon or 2 of milk may be address. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes in the preheated oven. Cool in a wire rack. Dust with confectioners sugar right before serving.
