MIX 2 CUPS SUGAR AND ONE CUP OF SOFTENED BUTTER (I use butter but can alter with oleo) UNTIL FLUFFY. ADD 4 EGGS-ONE AT A TIME, MIXING WELL. ADD ONE TEASPOON OF VANILLA AND ONE TEASPOON OF ORANGE OR LEMON EXTRACT; ADD ONE CUP OF ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR; ADD ONE-HALF CUP MILK; ADD ANOTHER CUP OF FLOUR, MIXING WELL, BUT DO NOT BEAT HARD; THEN ADD ANOTHER HALF CUP OF MILK; MIX ONE CUP OF FLOUR AND 2 TEASPOONS OF BAKING POWDER THEN ADD TO MIXTURE. LIGHTLY BEAT UNTIL ALL FLOUR DISAPPEARS;
SPRAY PAM LIGHTLY ON 2 LOAF PANS AND LIGHTLY FLOUR; POUR CAKE MIXTURE INTO THESE TWO PANS AND BAKE FOR ONE HOUR OR UNTIL BAKED. LEAVE IN PANS FOR 15 MINUTES THEN REMOVE.
