1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease and flour an 8x8 baking pan (9x13 is good for a double recipe).
2. For the cake:
3. In a medium mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients. Cut in butter or shortening until mixture resembles cornmeal. Add milk and beat well by hand.

6. Serve the cake warm from the oven, with some warm sauce poured over each piece.
7. Kept separately, the cake and sauce both keep well for several days.
