1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Recipe

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a tube pan.

Cake: Cream butter, shortening and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, and continue beating. Add vanilla. Sift dry ingredients together. Add to creamed mixture alternately with the milk, starting and ending with dry ingredients.

Pour batter into prepared tube pan. Bake for 2 hours. Let cake cool in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes. Remove to a wire rack and frost immediately, while still hot.

Icing: Melt margarine in top of a double boiler over boiling water. Add other ingredients, stirring well. (Be sure to sift the confectioners' sugar.) Spread the frosting over the hot cake. If icing begins to harden, place back over boiling water and stir until of spreading consistency again.
