1 and 1/2 cups butter, softened
3 cups sugar
6 eggs
1 overflowing teaspoon vanilla
3 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
Cream butter and add sugar, continuing to mix well. Beat with an electric mixer for about five minutes. Add eggs one at a time, and beat with each addition until eggs are mixed into batter. Combine flour and salt, mix by single cupfuls into batter until well blended. Pour batter into a greased cake pan (a loaf or bundt pan will work) and bake at 300 degrees F for 55 minutes. Cool and serve with chocolate sauce, jam or sugar glaze.
