+Butter Cake
+
+Cake Ingredients:
+   1 1/2 cup   all-purpose flour
+   1 1/2 cup   cake flour
+   1 tbl       baking powder
+   1/2 tsp     salt
+   1/4 tsp     baking powder
+   20 tbl      butter, softened
+   2 cup       sugar, granulated
+   2 tsp       vanilla extract
+   1/4 tsp     almond extract
+   4           eggs, large
+   1 cup       buttermilk
+
+Directions:
+   1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C). Lightly coat three 9-inch
+      cake pans with softened butter. Dust pans with flour and tap out excess.
+   2) Sift together both flours, baking powder, salt, and baking powder.
+   3) Cream butter, sugar, vanilla, and almond extract. Beat with mixer for
+      3-4 minutes.
+   4) Add 1 egg at a time, scraping bowl sides and beating with mixer after
+      each addition.
+   5) Alternate between adding sifted ingredients and buttermilk. Mix on
+      medium speed after each addition.
+   6) Beat on higher speed for 1-2 minutes.
+   7) Divide batter evenly into pans.  Bump pans on counter a few times to
+      settle batter and release air bubbles.
+   8) Bake for 25 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
+   9) Cool in pan on baking rack.
