from alexandracooks.com

Ingredients:

• butter or spray oil for greasing
• 2½ cups flour
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• ¼ teaspoon table salt
• 2 scant cups sugar
• 1 cup butter, softened
• 4 eggs
• ½ teaspoon vanilla
• 3 cups pawpaw pulp

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Grease a bundt pan or 2 standard-sized load pans (8 x 11). Set aside.
2. Whisk together flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
3. Cream sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla. Next add the pawpaw pulp, and beat to combine.
4. Add the dry ingredients to the pawpaw mixture and mix only until the flour is incorporated — don’t overmix.
5. Pour batter into prepared pans and place in the oven. Bake for 45 to 60 minutes for the bundt and larger loaf pans. Cake should be brown and should start to leave the sides of the pan.
