One-Egg Cake

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup shortening
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 2 tsp. baking powder
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1/2 cup milk

Directions

Cream shortening and sugar. Add unbeaten egg and vanilla and beat thoroughly. Sift flour and measure 1 1/2 cups. Sift together with the baking powder and salt. Add these sifted dry ingredients alternately with the milk to the creamed shortening and sugar mixture. Pour into 8 inch square cake pan which has been greased and floured. Bake at 350 degrees F until the cake tests done, about 25 minutes. This is a nice little recipe for cupcakes, also.
