I have been drinking peppermint tea with my little Dachsund. She is sitting in my lap helping me compose what is my very first post.
Plain White Cake comes from my very favorite cake recipe handed down from my Grandmother Ethel. She was very spunky and loved fashion. I am pretty sure that she passed away wearing her girdle.
This is the recipe:
2 1/4 cup flour (cake flour recommended but not required)
3 1/2 t baking power
1/2 t salt
1/1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup shortening (can be butter or oil)
1 cup milk
1 t vanilla
2 eggs
Bake for 35 minutes at 350 degrees F.
This is extremely uncomplicated. You can dump all of your ingredients in a bowl and mix them together with a mixer or by hand. You can split the batter in order to make a layer cake if desired or put it in a sheet pan. It smells great in the oven and can be dressed up with strawberries or chocolate sauce. Whatever you would like.
