If you’re
a frequent visitor to my blog, you’ll probably remember that my dad had a
boisterous personality and a huge love of food, both traits he passed on to me.
On Easter Sunday, I found myself missing my beloved dad, who went to heaven a few years ago, so in his honor I baked a Silver
White Cake. I slathered the top with butter cream frosting and sprinkled it with
flaked coconut, Dad's favorite! Eating this cake made me smile.
Silver
White Cake
2 cups
all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups
sugar
3 1/3
teaspoons baking powder
1
teaspoon salt
1/2 cup
shortening
1 cup
milk
1
teaspoon vanilla
4 egg
whites
Heat oven
to 350º F. Prepare a 13” x 9” baking dish with cooking spray.
Beat
together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, shortening, milk, and vanilla
in a large mixing bowl with electric mixer on low speed for one minute,
scrapping bowl often. Turn mixer to high and beat for two minutes. Add egg
whites and beat for an additional two minutes. Pour batter into pan.
Bake
until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, approximately 35-40
minutes.
Cool
before frosting.
Note: If
a layer cake is preferred, divide batter into 2 9” round pans and bake for
approximately 30 min.
