softened butter, coffee, and vanilla in a mixing bowl. Beat, with an
electric mixer set at medium speed, until smooth. NOTE; This recipe
came from a very old church cookbook that the woman found and is
typical of many of the recipes of the 1800's. The vinegar was used to
keep the cake from spoiling. Try this and I think that you will like
it.
