Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.
Step 2
Beat sugar and shortening together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition. Add flour mixture alternately with milk, beating just to combine. Stir in vanilla and pour cake batter into the prepared pan.
Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 40 to 45 minutes. Cool cake completely and top with your favorite frosting.
Step 4
Combine flour, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl.
