Description
I recently made this cake for a friend's birthday, and it is an old recipe from the 1950's. Sprinkle with coconut and chopped maraschino cherries if you wish.
Ingredients
- 3 cups sifted cake flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup shortening
- 1 ½ cups white sugar
- 5 egg yolk, beaten
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cups milk
Directions
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9 x 13 inch pan.
- 2. Sift together cake flour, baking powder, and salt.
- 3. In a large bowl, combine shortening, sugar, yolks, and vanilla; beat with mixer. Add sifted flour mixture alternately with milk in three parts; continue to beat until just blended. Pour batter into prepared pan.
- 4. Bake for about 35 minutes. Remove from pan, and cool on a wire rack. Ice with Fluffy Boiled Icing. Sprinkle with coconut and chopped maraschino cherries if you wish.
