“My gramma used to bake cakes and pies during the Depression and my grampa would sell them door-to-door and on the street corners to support them during that awful time. This is one of my favorites.”

Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl; repeat sifting twice more.
Beat white sugar and eggs together in a bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
