CAKE:

1/3 c. shortening
1 3/4 c. sifted cake flour
3/4 c. sugar
2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 egg
3/4 c. milk
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla

Place shortening in mixing bowl. Sift in dry ingredients. Add egg and 3/4 of the milk; mix until flour is moistened. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed on electric mixer. Add remaining milk and vanilla; beat 2 more minutes. Bake in greased and lightly floured 9x9x2 inch pan at 375 degrees about 25 minutes or until done.

NOTE: An 8x8x2 inch pan gives you a thicker cake layer.

ICING:

1/2 c. butter
1/2 c. peanut butter (add more if you like stronger peanut taste)

Mix until butter and peanut butter are creamed together. Add 3 tablespoons milk and 1 cup 10X sugar. Add more milk or sugar until you get the consistency you want.
