¼ tsp. salt
1 cup sugar
¼ lb. (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted & slightly
cooled

using an electric hand mixer or wooden spoon just until combined.

5. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
6. Grease the bottom and sides of a 8”x12” rectangular
baking pan.
7. Pour the cake batter into the pan, spreading the
batter evenly.
8. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick
inserted in the center comes out clean.
9. Cool completely.
10. To serve, cut into squares -- large or small. The
size is up to you.
Happy (belated) Mother's Day, Robyn!
