This recipe came from my husbands grandmother. She got the recipe from her friend Sue, hence the name. I just love recipes with history. This is a tried and true family recipe. And it’s yummy!
The original recipe calls for using shortening. It comes out great that way, and also using butter like I did in these pictures. I haven’t tried with coconut oil, but I bet it would come out great, too. I do not recommend using margarine.

Complete recipe below. Combine dry ingredients in bowl. Place the melted shortening in a 2 cup measuring cup. Add eggs to shortening.
Fill to the 1 cup mark with milk. ( In these pictures, I doubled the recipe, that’s why I’m filling to the two cup mark) Mix thoroughly.
Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients. Mix well.
Pour into greased pan.
Bake and enjoy with your favorite frosting.
Finished pic coming soon. They ate it before I got a picture!
