When I moved across the country, the first thing my mom did was sit down and put together a cookbook for me of family favorite recipes. This cake recipe was included in it. It is so simple and delicious, almost as easy as making a cake from a box, but with that happy satisfaction that you made it yourself. Because there are apparently people here complaining about "copying" recipes from the internet, here is the link to where I originally posted this recipe on my blog. http://kizzthecook.blogspot.com/2012/03/busy-day-cake.html

How To Make busy day cake

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place shortening in a mixing bowl and add sugar, egg and vanilla, mix until moistened.

Step 2

Gradually add flour and milk at the same time. If desired, add the extra milk and blueberries as well. Mix until well incorporated.
Step 3

Bake in a greased 9x9x2 baking pan for about 25 minutes.
Step 4

This cake is yummy on its own. We would typically have it with whipped cream and berries.
Step 5

If you do not have self rising flour, you can make your own, just sift together flour with 1 tsp baking powder per 1 cup of flour.
