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

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
