| Preparations: Have the shortening at room temperature. Grease 10x10x2-inch pan, line bottom with waxed paper, and grease again. Start oven for moderate heat (375° F.). Sift flour once before measuring. Measurements: Measure into sifter: | |
| 2 cups | sifted Swans Down Cake Flour |
| 2 1/2 teaspoons | Calumet Baking Powder |
| 1/2 teaspoon | salt |
| 1 cup | sugar |
| Measure into bowl: | |
| 1/2 cup | vegetable shortening |
| Measure into cup: | |
| 2/3 cup | milk |
| 1/2 teaspoon | vanilla |
| Have ready: | |
| 2 | eggs, unbeaten |
| 1/4 cup | burnt brown sugar syrup* |
* To make burnt sugar syrup, heat 2/3 cup dark brown sugar in heavy skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly until all is melted. Raise heat and stir until syrup smokes. Remove from heat; add 1/3 cup hot water very slowly and stir to dissolve. Cool. Measure 1/4 cup syrup for cake; use remainder in frosting.
Now the “Mix-Easy” Part:
Mix or stir shortening just to soften. Sift in dry ingredients; add 1/2 of liquid and the eggs. Mix until all flour is dampened; then beat 1 minute. Add remaining liquid and burnt sugar syrup, blend, and beat 2 minutes longer. (Count only actual beating time. Or count beating strokes. Allow at least 100 full strokes per minute. Scrape bowl and spoon or beater often.)
Baking:
Turn batter into pan. Bake in moderate oven (375° F.) 45 minutes, or until done. Frost with Burnt Sugar Frosting.
BURNT SUGAR FROSTING
Combine in top of double boiler: 1 unbeaten egg white, 3/4 cup sugar, dash of salt, 3 tablespoons water, 3/4 teaspoon light corn syrup, and 2 tablespoons burnt sugar syrup. Beat with rotary egg beater until thoroughly mixed. Place over rapidly boiling water, beat constantly with rotary egg beater, and cook 4 minutes, or until frosting will stand in peaks. Remove from boiling water and add 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. Beat until thick enough to spread. Makes enough frosting to cover top and sides of 10x10x2-inch cake or top and sides of two 8-inch layers.
