Is there a recipe for cake or cookies that DOES NOT have baking powder (baking soda ok)?

Question

I don't have any chocolate either. I'm looking for a simple cake that uses mainly flour, sugar, eggs, butter or oil, milk, and baking soda. Any ideas?

1 teaspoon vanilla

4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

In separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda and cream of tartar; add to creamed mixture, mixing well. Drop by small teaspoonfuls on ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 375 degrees F for 8-10 minutes.

Answer 3

Double Fudge Brownies

2-1/2 Cups white granulated sugar

2-1/2 CUBES Margarine or butter

5 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla

2/3 cup powdered dark cocoa (like can of dry Hersheys)

1 -1/4 Cup Flour

Preheat oven 350 degrees.  Grease and flour 13x9 pan.  Mix sugar and butter til smooth, add eggs and vanilla and beat til fluffy - 2 minutes or so.  Add cocoa and flour gradually and keep beating til well mixed.  Pour and scrape with spatula into pan and smooth around until batter is evenly spread.  Bake 35-40 min until top forms a shiny crust forms.  It will be all puffed up but when you set it out to cool it will 'fall'.  This forms a rich fudgy interior.  Slice into bars while warm then let cool but don't refrigerate before removing.  

Optional - add 1 cup chopped nuts of your choice if you like brownies with nuts. :)

I think if you search for Sandies, Butter Cookies or Sugar cookies - most of these do not have baking powder or soda in them.

Good luck!
