  • In a large bowl, cream the shortening and the sugar using an electric mixer.
  • Add eggs and mix well.
  • In a separate bowl, combine salt, baking powder and flour.

  • Repeat twice.
  • Bake for 1 hour, or until done.

  1. I am sure the reason for the dryness is the use of shortening. Have made this cake and always used butter with very good results. Also, suggest you use full fat milk. It is actually a very good and reliable recipe.
     
  2. This reminds me of a 1234 cake. The flavor is nice, but not exceptional. I found it lost its moisture after about 2 days. It's a good cake to use for upside down cakes or even a fruit cobbler. Perhaps susituting sour cream for the milk would make it more moist.

Hi .. The pic is of my beautiful son, born on 2/5/2005. His name is Tariq, meaning Bright Star. As I type this, he is blowing bubbles in his water cup and watching cartoons. He whined to get this water for 15 mins and now he won't drink it, he will only play with it. Sigh.. A few days ago he came up with this song, so sing along to the tune of "Old McDonald" : Old McTariq Laq Laq Laq E I E I OOOOOO LOL I thought it was the cutest thing :-) When I'm not running around after my son, or cleaning up the mess he makes wherever he goes, I cook and bake (my husband loves the blueberry muffins I make) and I love trying new recipes .. I also love to read, and collect sci-fi/fantasy novels .. I have over 500 books and still counting ..
