Mrs. Martin's White Cake

Mix: 2 eggs
1 c. white sugar

Add: 1 c. white flour
1 tsp. baking powder

Bring to a boil and add to the flour and sugar mixture:
1/2 c. milk
2 T. butter
1/2 tsp. vanilla

Bake in greased and floured 8x8 in. pan @ 360F for 25 min.

Comments: This is the easiest, delicious, no-fail white cake. It consistently comes out beautiful, light and soft. Icing isn't necessary but I like to serve it with a scoop of sliced strawberries or a coconut topping.

Coconut topping:
Heat in a saucepan till boiling
1/2 c. brown sugar
1/4 c. butter
1/4 c. milk
1/2 c. coconut
1/4 c. crushed pecans
1/2 tsp. vanilla

After the cake is cooked, pour topping on slightly cooled cake and place under broiler for 2-5 min. till slightly browned. Prop door slightly open and watch carefully that the topping doesn't burn. Cool before serving.
