Ingredients:

  • 3/4 cup shortening
  • 1-1/2 cups sugar
  • 2-1/2 cups cake flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup cold water
  • frosting:
  • 2 cups shortening
  • 6 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 to 3 tbsp milk
  • lilac paste food coloring
  • edible pansies

Directions:

  1. In a large bowl, cream shortening and sugar until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in extracts. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with water. Beat just until combined. In another bowl, beat egg whites on high speed until stiff peaks form; fold into batter.
  2. Pour into two greased and floured 9-in. round baking pans. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes; remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
  3. In a large bowl, beat shortening, confectioners' sugar, extracts and salt until light and fluffy. Add enough milk to achieve frosting consistency.
  4. Place one cake on a serving plate; spread with 1 cup frosting. Top with remaining cake. Tint 2 cups frosting with lilac food coloring; spread over top and sides of cake.
  5. Cut a small hole in the corner of a pastry or plastic bag; insert #10 tip and fill with remaining white frosting. Pipe a border of pearls around bottom and top of cake. With #3 tip, pipe smaller pearls on sides of cake. Garnish with pansies. Yield: 14-16 servings.
