6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) Butter or Margarine

1 and ¼ cup Sugar

2 large eggs

½ cup Milk

1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

2 cups Fresh Blueberries / Chopped Apples / Chopped Peach etc.  ( optional )

1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon or Nutmeg mixed with 1 tablespoon granulated Sugar (for topping)

2. Combine the sugar and butter in a mixing bowl and cream together

3.  Add the eggs to the creamed butter and sugar and continue mixing until light and fluffy

4.  Stir the vanilla into the milk

5.  Set the mixer to the lowest speed and alternately add the dry ingredients and the milk to the creamed butter, sugar and eggs
