This is a very old recipe that I got from my deceased friend Holli’s Aunt Bert. Everyone will love it.
Original recipe makes 1 – 9 x 13 inch cake
Ingredients
2 cups white sugar
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
3 egg yolks
1 egg
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup boiling water
Directions
- Mix together the buttermilk with the baking soda. Set aside. Cream shortening, sugar, eggs and vanilla. Beat well.
- Add buttermilk and baking soda mixture.
- Sift dry ingredients, and add to creamed mixture.
- Add boiling water, and mix well.
- Pour into a greased and floured 9 x 13 inch pan. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for approximately 35 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean.
- Let cool. I frost with cream cheese frosting.
