Susan's Notes:

A real crowd pleaser, moist and delicious and not too heavy!

2
Whisk flour, baking soda and salt together in a medium bowl.
3
Beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.Beat in eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Susan, what a lovely recipe. I was already going to save the recipe then I read your note about adding fresh Lime & Lime Juice to give it a Pina Colada flavor. I am now committed to baking the P.C. version as it is a great favorite of one of my best friends.

Thank you, lovely lady! Best Wishes. LOL :-)
