After preparing Fredrica Hanson's simple mix, you'll have enough to make three moist cakes. So you can try the Neosho, Missouri baker's white cake for an after-dinner delight or her spice cake for a short-on-time snack. Ingredients:
1-3/4 cups shortening |
3-1/2 cups sugar |
5-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
2 tablespoons baking powder |
4-1/2 teaspoons salt |
additional ingredients for white cake: |
3 egg whites |
3/4 cup milk |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
frosting of your choice |
additional ingredients for spice cake: |
2 eggs |
3/4 cup milk |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice |
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves |
frosting of your choice |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, cream shortening and sugar. Combine flour, baking powder and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture until blended and crumbly. Store in an airtight container in a cool dry place for up to 3 months. Yield: about 11 cups (enough for three cakes).
2. To prepare white cake: In a bowl, combine 3-1/2 cups cake mix, egg whites, milk and vanilla. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Pour into a greased 9-in. square baking pan.
