One Egg Cake
List of Ingredients
3/4 c sugar
3 tbsp shortening
3 tbsp baking powder**?? see note below
1/8 tsp salt
1 c flour
3/4 c milk
1 tsp vanilla
1 egg
Sauce:
1/2 to 3/4 c sugar
1 heaping tbsp flour
pinch of salt
1/4 c butter
1 c milk
Flavoring of your choice - vanilla, almond extract, lemon extract, nutmeg,
cinnamon, etc. Your choice.
Recipe states also good with a small can of crushed pineapple, drained. Also
good with no sauce, with fresh strawberries and whipped cream.
Recipe
Preheat to 350.
Cream sugar and shortening. Add remaining ingredients. Bake in a gresed 9
inch square pan for 25 to 30 minutes.
--------------------
Sauce:
Combine all ingredients in a saucepan. Heat, stirring constantly, to keep
from sticking. Continue until thickens slightly - you do not want this too
thick.
-----------------
**??I think this is an error. I prepared the recipe as written and it bubbled
all over the oven. I think it should be 3 tsp.
The cake was very good, in spite of the mess in the oven. I used a
combination of vanilla extract, almond extract and a pinch of cinnamon in
the sauce.
