This Barbadian plain cake is a simple pound cake that's good with a cup of tea. My grandmother, Gladys Payne Gittens, came here from Barbados in about 1906. She read this recipe to me over the phone when I was in law school in 1978. Thanks to my friend Elayne, the Soulful Yenta, to whom I gave a copy, I was able to find this on Mother's Day.

  • unsalted butter: 2 cups (softened)

  2. Use a spatula to cream butter and sugar together by hand until light and fluffy. Add eggs all at once and mix well. Mix in flour mixture and 1 cup milk; batter will be doughy. Mix in remaining 1 cup milk along with vanilla and almond extracts. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
