1/2 cup shortening
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/4 tsp almond extract
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
3 egg whites, do not beat
2 1/2 cups cake flour
1 tsp salt
1 tbs double acting baking powder
1 cup milk
Cream the shortening and sugar together; add almond extract, vanilla extract, and egg whites. Beat by hand (DO NOT USE ELECTRIC MIXER) for about 4 to 5 minutes.
Sift the flour, salt, and baking powder together into the egg mixture; add milk and beat for 2 minutes on the medium speed of an electric mixer.
Pour the batter into 2-8-inch round cake pans and bake in a moderate 350 degree oven for 30 minutes.
TOPPING:
3 tbs flour
pinch of salt
1 cup milk
Cook and set aside until cool. Cream 1 cup shortening and 1 cup sugar. Add 1 tsp vanilla. Add a little at a time to the cooled mixture. Beat, beat, beat, at least 20 minutes with a mixer.
Note: This recipe does not mention preparing the cake pans. They should be greased and lightly dusted.
