This cake sounds delicious :) I'm from Northern Ireland, how much does a stick of butter weigh and the weight of a cup of sugar. Thanks!

 Melanie (North Carolina) replies:
A stick of butter is 1/4 pound (4 oz.). A cup of sugar is, well, a cup of sugar!?! Fill a "cup" with sugar that you have in your house (or preferably purchase an actual cup measure for future use).
