Number Of Ingredients 9

3 c cake flour
1/2 tsp salt
4 tsp baking powder
3/4 c shortening
1 3/4 c white sugar
1 c milk
5 egg whites
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp almond extract

Steps:

  • 1. Sift and measure flour. Add salt and baking powder, and sift again.
  • 2. In a large bowl, cream shortening. Add 1 cup of the sugar gradually, and cream until fluffy. Add sifted ingredients alternately with milk and flavoring. Beat thoroughly after each addition.
  • 3. Beat egg whites until stiff. Gradually add in the remaining 3/4 cup sugar to egg whites and fold into mixture. Pour batter into greased 9 inch round pans. Using parchment paper to line the bottom will yield a better result when removing from pan. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 25 to 30 minutes.
  • 4. Cool, and frost with Creamy Frosting. To make Prosperity Cake, add orange extract instead of almond.
