Yellow Cake

2 ¼ cups cake flour (or AP flour minus 2 TBS)
1 ½ cups sugar
3/4 cup shortening
3/4 cup milk

3 eggs

2 1/2 double acting baking powder
1 teas salt
1 teas vanilla

½ teas almond extract
1/2 teas teas baking soda

1 cup milk

Butter Cream Frosting

Preheat oven to 375 degree Fahrenheit. If baking in a 11x13 pan, spray with vegetable cooking spray and dust with cocoa powder.

In a large bowl, measure all ingredients. With a mixer on low, beat until well mixed. At high speed, beat 5 minutes. Do not miss this step, the beating for 5 minutes makes the cake very fluffy. Scrap the bowl occasionally.

Spoon into a 11x13 pan. Bake: 25 minutes. Cake is done when a knife comes out clean when poked in the center.
