* You can convert all purpose flour into CAKE FLOUR by spooning 1 cup of all purpose flour, leveling it, then taking away 2 Tablespoons of flour out of the cup and replacing it with 2 Tablespoons of cornstarch. So, you do this 3 times for this recipe, replacing with 6 T of cornstarch. Then sift all of the flour once before adding to other ingredients.

Grease and flour either a tube or Bundt pan. Cream sugar and butter then add all the other ingredients, and beat until well blended. Pour in pan. Bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes at 325 degrees. Use a toothpick or slim knife inserted in cake to see if comes out clear. If not, you can add additional time up to 20 more minutes. Depends on your oven.
