Easy Whole Wheat White Cake

We use this cake in place of "shortcake" and pile fresh fruit on top for a delicious, healthy, high-fiber treat! 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Coat with non-stick spray or grease and flour a
9" x 9" pan.

When using your Bosch Universal Plus Mixer, use the wire whisks attached to the metal whisk holder for this recipe.  Grind your whole wheat fresh in the Nutrimill or other grain mill..

Cream together:
1 C. white sugar  (May reduce slightly)
1/2 C. butter (softened)

Beat in:
2 eggs (one at a time)
2 teaspoons vanilla

Combine:

1 1/2 C. whole wheat flour    (I grind my own flour from hard white wheat.)
1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder

Add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture above and mix well.

Stir in:  1/2 C. milk to create a smooth batter:

Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 30-40 minutes.  Cake is done when center springs back when touched.

I double this recipe when using a 13" x 9" pan.  Increase cooking time.

We like to top this dessert with fresh strawberries, peaches, blueberries etc.  A spoonful of whipped cream or ice cream is tasty and beautiful.
