Ingredients | Padron 1926 Anniversary Review

2 ⅔ cups sifted cake flour

3 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

5 egg whites

1 ¾ cups white sugar

⅔ cup shortening

2 cups milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line the bottom of two 9 inch round pans, two 9 inch square pans, or one 10 x 16 inch pan.

Combine sifted flour, baking powder, and salt; sift together three times.

Beat egg whites until foamy. Add 1/2 cup of the sugar gradually, and continue beating only until meringue will hold up in soft peaks.

Cream shortening. Add remaining 1-1/4 cups sugar gradually, and cream together until light and fluffy. Add flour alternately with milk, a small amount at a time; beat after each addition until smooth. Stir in vanilla. Add meringue, and beat thoroughly into batter. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan or pans.
