Recipe
For a Yellow Cake:
Sift together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Cut in
shortening until fine crumbs are formed. Add eggs, milk, and
vanilla. Beat at low speed for 1 minute, then high for 2
minutes, scraping the bowl frequently. Pour batter into
greased and floured 9x13 inch pan. Bake in preheated 350
degree F oven (175 degrees C) for 25 to 30 minutes.
For a White Cake:
Prepare as for the basic cake except use 3 egg whites for
the 2 whole eggs. Whites may be beaten separately and
added for a lighter cake.
For a Chocolate Cake:
Add 1/4 cup cocoa powder to the basic cake mix prior to
adding the milk.
For a Spice Cake:
Add 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, and
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice to the basic cake mix.
For a Pineapple Upside Down Cake:
Melt 1/2 cup butter in the bottom of a 9x13 pan. Add 2/3 cup
brown sugar, stirring into the butter. Arrange pineapple slices
in the pan. Top with the basic (yellow cake) mix recipe. Bake
30 to 35 minutes, cool 5 minutes, and invert to serve.
