This is a really old recipe and a wonder it was even written down at all. As I understand, she didn't write down a majority of her recipes so unfortunately a lot of her cooking has passed with her. I knew it was old as the first ingredient is "oleo". I bet I'd be hard pressed to find a kid, today, who knew what oleo was. Here goes:
2 sticks oleo
2 cups sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. butter flavor
1/2 tsp. yellow food color
2 cups sifted flour
6 eggs
The instructions make me giggle. They are: Cream good. Add 6 eggs, one at a time, beating after each. Fold in flour til wet. Beat well. Bake 275 degrees or 300 degrees til done. About 1 1/2 hours.
She was not one for many words, I guess : )
