White Cake Recipe

(Nina Spitzer)

INGREDIENTS

• 1/2 cup Crisco shortening
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 3 eggs
• 1tsp vanilla
• 1 cup milk (lactose free if necessary)
• 1 tsp salt
• 3 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 2 tsp. xanthan gum
• 2 cups GF flour mix(Bette Hagman's)
• Duncan Hines Frosting (Read label!-not all canned frostings are GF)
• Cake Mate decorating icing

Heat oven to 350.  Grease and flour baking pan, 13 X 9 X 2" or 2 round layer pans or for cupcakes (muffin tins) - use paper liners.

Mix ingredients together in the order listed above.

Blend 1/2 minute on low speed, scraping bowl constantly.  Beat 3 minutes on high speed, scraping bowl occasionally.  Pour into pans.  Bake 40-45 minutes for oblong, 30-35 for round, and 15-20 for cupcakes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.  Cool.

BTW: If you add a streusal topping, this makes a wonderful coffee cake.

GREAT for all kinds of cakes...Birthday…Strawberry Shortcake…Coffee Cake, etc!

Note:  I use Oriental flours and Mexican vanilla.
