Favourite Irish Coffee Cake

Directions

Preheat oven to 350℉ (180℃) F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9 inch round cake pan with butter, then flour the pan.

In a medium bowl with an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar until creamy, light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then add the vanilla.

Mix together the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Stir into the batter alternately with the milk. If the batter is too stiff, add a or two tablespoon of milk.

Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for about 35 minutes, until a toothpick or wooden stick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool in pan on a wire rack completely, about 2 hours or longer. Then turn out onto a cake serving plate. Dust powdered sugar on top just before serving.
