SUMMARY
Yield 0 File under cakes

INSTRUCTIONS
A good and versatile cake if you need a quick treat for coffeetime. About everyone here makes it under the name of ruehrkuchen. Feel free to add whatever strikes your fancy or you have in the house...

1 cup butter
1-1/3 c sugar
4 c sifted flour
1 c milk
4 lg. Eggs
4 tsp. Baking powder
1/2 tsp. Salt
2 tsp. Vanilla

Heat oven to 350°, grease and flour a 12 cup bundt pan.

Put all ingredients (at room temp) in mixing bowl, mix on low for 30 secs, then on medium high for 2 min. Batter should fall from spoon in thick "blobs". Spoon batter into pan, level top and bake for about one hour. Let cool in pan for ten min. then turn onto rack.

Variations: use brown sugar and add choc chips.
Use lemon extract instead of vanilla and add a cup or so of light raisins
Half batter and stir 1/4 c cocoa + 3 tbsp. Milk into one half , proceed as for any marble cake.

I also do this with the two stage method, makes cake more tender.
Sometimes i substitute oil for half of the butter and add one pckg. Instant pudding for a moister cake.

Spread the word
