Cream butter and sugar until light. Add sugar gradually, beating constantly. Add vanilla. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Combine flour and baking powder and add to creamed mixture, beating well.

This is great served with lemonade in the summer and equally good with hot cocoa on a blustry winter day. This has been enjoyed by my family for many years.
