The loaf cake...plain and simple

I love this little house under our tree. You can see the little decorated tree inside.

Audrey loves to sit under the tree amidst the twinkling lights. She feels like a giant when she's really just a wee kitty. Bet they are sitting around in there having
Tea & treats and watching movies. Don't you just love Christmas. 

My favorite Christmas candy is the gum-drop. My mom always had a big Christmas bowl filled with them and I loved every color and flavor.  She would also make a gum-drop cake. Now, not everyone took a fancy to this festive loaf but there was no arguing that it was the cutest little loaf-cake you ever did see. I wish I had the recipe but somehow it has been lost.  I noticed there are lots of recipes for this cake on the internet. So, I have another loaf cake recipe that I want to share.
My mom called this 'the loaf cake'...plain and simple.
1/4 cup of butter                              
1 cup of white sugar
2 eggs
2 cups of flour
1 cup of sour milk (add a 1/2 tsp. of vinegar to milk)
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. vanilla
Mix all the above ingredients together.

In a separate bowl mix together 1 tsp. cinnamon and 3 tbsp. brown sugar.

Put half of the cake ingredients in pan then a layer of cinnamon and brown sugar.
Then add half the ingredients and a layer of cinnamon and brown sugar on top.

Cook 1 hour at 350 degrees.

Thanks for all your comments about Audrey and Annie. I have decided no matter what they tell me at the vet clinic tomorrow we will work it out that they stay here.   There is always an answer.
