My son who is 11 yrs old makes this cake. It is delicious. We use Brodies cake flour, and salted butter. But do not any extra salt. Instead of Buttermilk, we use ordinary milk but with a tablespoon on lemon juice. It all works perfectly. Best cake recipe we have found and so simple to make. Work well in cup cake as well. Enjoy!!

This is great! Me and my friend will be baking this cake tomorrow :) Hopefully it will go well. Thank you. Plus, you have a really nice voice :)

No butter is not a good substitute for shortening. For some reason... butter does not allow cakes to rise. Butter is great in cookies because they don't have to rise.

I'm glad you are enjoying this cake recipe. I just made one for my Grandson's 14th birthday. It's his favorite.

Juar pur my second on in two weeks in the oven. Great cake.

This cake did not last anytime, and I didn't even frost it. I used whipped cream and my daughter just ate it plain--she doesn't care for frosting.

[mickerin64]

This is delicious. Thanks.

whats shortening??? is it like cream?

[Insightfulnana]

Shorting is a solid fat that comes from Vegetable Oil

Lard is a solid fat that comes from Animal Fat.

would it ruin the cake?

[Insightfulnana]

By all means... that's what I use

[fadrizals]

Can i substitute Shortening for Butter ? Do reply..TQ!

[TICABELLA23]

thats better cos shortening is to much fat.

[sabzilicious]

hey...i wanted to know a good substitute for butter milk....do reply :)

[Insightfulnana]

My mom always used 1 C whole milk to 1 TB of white vinegar and it worked just fine. I also understand that 1 C of plain yogurt works as well. However, I have not tried the yogurt with this recipe. Hope this helps.

2/3 cups of saturated fat, that'd kill you!

[Insightfulnana]

The results won't be the same because shortening is a saturated fat while vegetable oil isn't. Although made from oil, shortening has been chemically transformed into a sold state through hydrogenation. Shortening and veg. oil have a different compound make up. I have seen a carrot cake made with oil... but very few cakes are made with oil.

can i subsitute shorting for vege oil?
