1 1/2 cups sugar

1/2 cup lard

2 eggs

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla

In large mixing bowl cream sugar and lard until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla; beat well. Add flour mixture to creamed mixture alternately with milk, beating low after each addition.

Pour batter into two greased and floured round cake pans. Bake at 375° for 30 to 35 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
