Busy Day Cake image

I got this recipe from the Fanny Farmer Cookbook - years and years ago. It is the first cake I ever learned to make. I believe the first time I made it I was about 10 years old. I also taught my boys how to make this when they were 8 and 10. It's very easy. Tasty enough, but the frosting is what adds the most flavor. I use the store bought frosting on it. Very simple to make and like the title says - it's great for a dessert on a busy day!

Time 40m

Yield 9 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 2/3 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/3 cup shortening
2/3 cup milk
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Cream shortening and sugar.
  • Add egg.
  • Sift in flour, baking powder and salt.
  • Add milk and vanilla. Mix well.
  • Put in a greased 9x9 pan.
  • Bake at 350 degrees until done. (toothpick inserted comes out clean). Start checking at 20 minutes. I haven't made this in a while, so I'm not sure. If it looks done enough to check with the toothpick at 20 minutes, then by all means, check it. It may take up to 30 minutes to bake.
