MRS. RICKERT'S CRUMB CAKE

INGREDIENTS
1 cup butter
4 cups all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
2 eggs
1 cup milk
Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease four 6-inch pie pans. Combine the butter,
flour, sugar, salt and baking powder. Mix with your hands to form crumbs.
Take out just enough for crumbs on top of cakes, about 3/4 cup. Set aside.
To the remaining crumbs add the eggs and milk; beat well. Divide batter
evenly among prepared cake pans. Sprinkle with crumbs. Bake for 35-40
minutes or until cake tester inserted in center comes out clean. Remove from
oven and set on racks to cool slightly, then remove cakes from pans and cool
completely.
