WESTERN HOMESTEAD OLD FASHIONED BUTTER CAKE
Old fashioned buttery thin crust on the outside of this tube pan cake. There is no salt or milk. Powdered sugar is the key to this cake and you can use butter, margarine or butter flavored Crisco. I use a combination of butter and butter flavored Crisco. No icing necessary. Serve with fruit, whipped cream or whipped jello or any combination. Recipe found in the walls of our homestead built in 1907 tacked along side of Lithuanian newspapers which were used for insulation. I have updated recipe ie. butter flavored Crisco and Pam. They pounded the sugar to become powder with mortar and pestle.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
- Measure your ingredients accurately: Baking is a science, and precise measurements are essential for success. Use a kitchen scale to measure your ingredients, especially flour and sugar.
- Don't overmix your batter: Overmixing can make your cake tough and dense. Mix your batter just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake your cake at the right temperature: The temperature of your oven can affect the texture and flavor of your cake. Be sure to preheat your oven to the correct temperature before baking.
- Don't open the oven door during baking: Opening the oven door during baking can cause your cake to fall. Only open the door to check on the cake's progress in the last few minutes of baking.
- Let your cake cool completely before frosting it: Frosting a warm cake can cause the frosting to melt and slide off. Let your cake cool completely before frosting it.
Conclusion:
Baking a Western cake is a fun and rewarding experience. With a little practice, you can create delicious and beautiful cakes that will impress your family and friends. Remember to follow the tips above and have fun in the kitchen!
