From my Mama's recipe collection:
2 cups cake flour
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup shortening
2 eggs
2 1/2 teaspoons double acting baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
Grease and flour 2 8-inch round cake pans.
Put everything in a large bowl. Beat on low speed just until blended, constantly scrapping the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Beat 3 minutes on high speed scrapping the bowl occasionally. Divide the batter evenly between the two pans. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Remove from pans and cool on a wire rack.
Will also make 2 dozen cupcakes. Bake for 20 minutes.
Frost with Browned Butter Cream Frosting
1 16-ounce package confectioners sugar
6 tablespoons butter
3 to 4 tablespoons milk or half and half
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
In a small skillet over medium heat, heat the butter until lightly browned. Cool to room temperature.
In a large bowl,beat all ingredients at medium speed until very smooth, adding more milk if necessary to make it the desired consistency.
I'll post pics as soon as I make it.
