Butter Sponge Cake

Sunday at church we are having our monthly potluck.  I made an Angel Food Cake (will post that later) so what to do with all of those egg yolks...

Ready to be frosted!

This recipe made two loaf pans. I love old dishes, this plate was my moms.

Ready for tasting...just a corner.
