Cake Recipes    

This easy scratch cake became a family favorite because of the distinct shortening taste.  

Mom found the recipe in a magazine - we don't know which one, and the clipping has vanished, but never fear.  We've updated the directions, honored the copyright and included some variations.

     Enjoy,
     Jane Marie

PS  Nancy made the Spaghetti Cake for our brother Bob's birthday.  (Bob)

PPS  This recipe doubles exactly to make two layers.

One Egg Cake

Sift:

  • 2 cups cake flour or 1 3/4 cups white flour (you can substitute up to 1/2 cup whole wheat flour, but this will change the outcome)
  • 1 1/4 cups sugar
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Add and beat well:

  • 1/3 shortening (do not use butter or margarine)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla  (for lemon cake, use ½ tsp vanilla and ½ tsp lemon extract)
  • 2/3 cup milk (whole milk is best, but we've made this cake with skim milk too)

Add, beating 2 minutes on medium speed or 300 strokes by hand:

  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1 large egg

Grease and flour one 9" round cake pans or spray with non-stick cooking spray.    

Bake 25 to 30 minutes at 350° F until golden brown and a knife or toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Frost to your liking or serve with whipped topping while hot.

 

Variations

  • Add 1/2 bag of miniature chocolate chips to the whole wheat version.
  • For more fiber and a very different outcome, combine 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/4 cup oats soaked in just enough skim milk to make a thick paste.  Add this when you're adding the shortening.

 

Spaghetti Cake

 

Bake and cool:

  •  One or two layers of your favorite cake recipe.

Frost:

  • The entire cake with any white icing - don't forget to frost between the layers.

Fill:

  • A pastry bag with a fairly thick white or off-white icing, and pipe long strands over the entire surface of the cake using a small round tip.

OR

Cover:

  • The entire surface of the cake with coconut immediately after frosting.  If you wait, the frosting will set and the coconut will not stick.

Sprinkle:

  • Red decorating sugar over the top of the cake.

Place

  • 3 or more purchased chocolate candies on the top of the cake.

Sprinkle

  •  10X (powdered sugar) over all to give the effect of Parmesan cheese.
