Recipe by: Jo Merrill This is an heirloom recipe--not sure exactly how old. Beat butter and margarine until fluffy. Gradually add sugar and beat slowly for 5 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each egg. Gradually beat in cake flour and add flavorings and blend. Bake in preheated 300 degree oven for 1 hour.
