2 eggs (separated) 3/4 c. Crisco 1 1/2 c. sugar 4 1/2 tsp. heaping malted milk powder 1/2 tsp. vanilla 1/2 tsp. salt 1 1/2 tsp. soda 1 1/2 c. buttermilk 2 3/4 c. cake flour NOTE: Works better if eggs and buttermilk are room temperature. Cream shortening and sugar, add egg yolks, beat, add malted milk powder, salt, vanilla and beat good. Dissolve soda in buttermilk and add alternately with cake flour. Beat good. In separate bowl beat egg whites until stand in peaks. Then fold beaten egg whites in by hand. Pound out air bubbles. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes. Makes 3 (9 inch) pans. Frost - I use Creamy Frosting. CREAMY FROSTING: 2 tbsp. rounded flour 1 c. water 1/2 c. Crisco 1/4 lb. butter 1 c. granulated sugar 1 tbsp. vanilla Cook flour and water until thick paste, set aside and let cool. Mix Crisco, butter, sugar until creamy. Then add cooled flour and water mixture. Mix together and lastly add vanilla. Beat well. |
