Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/4 cups sugar
1/2 cup Crisco shortening ( white only)
2 large eggs ( or extra large)
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 teaspoon almond extract

Steps:

1. Set oven to 350 degrees. 2. Set oven rack to second-lowest position. 3. Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking pan, and line bottom of pan with parchment paper. 4. In a medium or large bowl, with an electric mixer, cream the sugar and shortening until no granules remain (about 4 minutes). 5. Add in eggs and almond extract/vanilla (if using); beat very well for 5 minutes on high speed. 6. In a small bowl sift together flour, baking soda and salt. 7. Add to the creamed mixture along with the buttermilk; mix well until blended (about 2-3 minutes). 8. Transfer to a prepared baking pan. 9. Bake on second-lowest oven rack for 30-35 minutes (check for doneness after 25 minutes, this cake bakes fast!).
