Step 1

Start with your dry ingredients, placing them all into the mixing bowl with the mixer on low to blend.

Add the milk and the vanilla or almond and the 1/2 cup of shortening. Blend on low speed until moistened. Gradually bring the mixer speed up to medium high and beat for 2 minutes.

Add the egg whites and mix on low to incorporate them. Raise the speed to medium high and beat for 2 minutes.

Split the batter between two 8 inch pans. Details are in the video for preparing and filling your pans.

Bake until the cakes spring back to the touch or a toothpick stuck into the center comes out clean.
