I found this recipe in the Taste of Home magazine. This is what the lady that submitted it had to say “My grandma used to be known for her delicious wedding cakes, and this is the recipe she used,” relates field editor Sue Gronholz from Beaver Dam, Wisconsin.”I learned cake decorating on my own and use her recipe to create birthday, anniversary and shower cakes.”

Special Occasion White Cake

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup shortening
  • 1-1/2 cups Domino® or C&H® Granulated Pure Cane Sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 2-1/2 cups cake flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup cold water
  • 4 egg whites

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, cream shortening and sugar until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in extracts. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with water. Beat just until combined. In another bowl, beat egg whites on high speed until stiff peaks form; fold into batter.
  2. Pour into two greased and floured 9-in. round baking pans. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes; remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
