i am looking for a old fashion tea cake recipe and a recipe how to
make vanilla extract
Hello Breezee,
There are some tea cake recipes below. Vanilla extract is an alcohol extract of vanilla beans. To make it, you have to have vanilla beans.
Use 1 split vanilla bean per 3/4 cup of vodka or pure grain alcohol. Let soak for 4 to 6 months.

Hello Sandy,
There are lots of different Tom and Jerry recipes, but the one below is the
only one that I could find using corn syrup.
Phaed
Tom and Jerry
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
4 eggs -- Separated
1 cup Sugar
8 tablespoons White corn syrup
4 tablespoons Water
Whiskey or Brandy
Nutmeg
Separate 4 eggs. Beat the heck out of the yolks and whites.
You can't whip them too dry.
Cook: 1 cup sugar, 8 tbsp. white corn syrup, 4 tbsp. water.
Boil till an 8 inch thread hangs from the spoon. Slowly beat
into the egg whites. Add one fourth cup powdered sugar and
2 jiggers white rum. Add egg yolks and beat some more.
Now mix and fold together. Serve in heated coffee mugs.
Put in 1-2 ounces whiskey or brandy into cup. Fill one half
batter and run hot water down the side of the cup until full.
Sprinkle with nutmeg.

Hello Linda,
The below recipe is the only "deep butter" coffee cake recipe that I can find.
Phaed

1 stick margarine (or butter)

Mix together as you would pie dough with a fork. After
thoroughly mixed, pat down in 13 x 9 inch greased pan. Push the
dough up somewhat at the sides so that topping does not flow down
into bottom of pan. Mix together 1 (8 ounce) package of
Philadelphia cream cheese, 2 eggs and 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar and
pour over top of above mixture. Bake in 350 degree oven for 40
minutes. Top with powdered sugar and nuts if desired.
