The golden twin to our Do-It-Yourself Chocolate Cake, this is just as easy and just as delicious (in a completely non-chocolaty way). I prefer to make it with melted butter (for the flavour) but you can substitute vegetable oil if you prefer.

Bake this cake just once and you’ll be hooked for life.

This is my mother’s recipe, I can’t take credit for it. It’s for use with some kind of mixer Kitchenaid or Bosch or similar that will do the kneading for you. I tried to make bread without a mixer, waiting for the yeast to foam and then kneading it myself and failed miserably. With this method, I had success on my first try and now feel like a bread-baking pro. It is utterly delicious and slices beautifully.
