Directions:

1. Sift all the dry ingredients except the sugar into a large bowl.
2. Combine all the rest of the ingredients in a separate bowl.
3. Pour liquid slowly into dry ingredients a little at a time, beating as you go until all ingredients are just incorporated.

5. Bake 35 minutes at 350 degrees. Then test to see if a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If not, bake another 5 minutes and test again.
