Here is what you need:
About two hours before you are ready to begin, take the butter out of the refrigerator to soften.
Closer to baking time, preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
Put all ingredients in order into the mixer bowl of a heavy-duty stand mixer. Beat at low speed for 1 minute. (watch that first spin or two -- the flour will attack you) Scrape the bowl as you go. Beat at medium speed for 2 minutes.
Pour into a tube pan that has been sprayed with non-stick spray. Smooth the surface. This is a very thick batter. Bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour and 30 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool in a pan for 10 minutes. Remove from the pan and continue to cool completely on a wire rack.
We ate ours with crushed berries and whipped topping.

Could you please modify these directions for those of us poor wretches like me who are not fortunate enough to have a stand mixer?
