Carol who is an expert at desserts serves this often. It is wonderful with coffee ice cream and dark chocolate sauce. This cake is great for strawberries and whipped cream.
2 large eggs
1 cup sugar
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk
about a 1/4 cup butter
Measure 1/2 cup milk, add butter to bring up to 3/4 cup. Heat until scalded. (Steaming but not boiling)
Beat 2 eggs, add 1 cup sugar gradually, then add 1 cup flour combined with teaspoon baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Combine with milk and butter mixture. Batter will be thin. Pour into an 8 inch square or round pan.
Bake 375º for 25 minutes.
This is good served warm, with coffee ice cream and warm semi-sweet chocolate sauce and whipped cream.
Chocolate sauce: melt good quality semi-sweet chocolate with a little added water or cream then pour over the ice cream and cake.
