List of Ingredients






Makes 12 cupcakes

1½ cups unsifted cake flour

1 ½ teaspoons baking powder

¼ teaspoon salt

1 cup packed light brown sugar

1/3 cup vegetable shortening or butter (or a mixture)

2 large eggs

½ cup milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 12-cup cupcake pan. Stir together flour, baking powder and salt.

In a separate bowl, beat together brown sugar and shortening until fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time. Add dry ingredients to sugar mixture along with milk and vanilla. Beat just until smooth.

Divide batter into the greased cupcake cups and bake 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of one comes out clean. Cool and frost.
