Favorite One-Egg Cake is what they consider a "One Bowl Cake". Very easy to prepare and takes very little of your time. The texture of the cake is very light. You have many options that you can use in very different ways to include or add to this recipe for example frosting as you desire, filling, adding fruit etc.

Favorite One-Egg Cake

2 cups sifted cake flour or all purpose flour
1 cup sugar
2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup shortening or butter
1 cup milk
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1. Preheat oven to 350F. Grease well and flour two 8 by 1 ½ -inch layer-cake pans, or a 9-by-9-by1 3/4 –inch baking pan.

2. Into large bowl of electric mixer, sift flour with sugar, baking powder, and salt.

3. Add shortening and milk. At medium speed beat 2 minutes, occasionally scraping side of bowl and guiding mixture into beaters with rubber scraper.

4. Add egg and vanilla; beat 2 minutes longer.

5. Pour batter into prepared pans; bake layers 25 to 30 minutes; square 30 to 35 minutes; or until surface springs back when gently pressed with fingertip.

6. Cool in pans 10 minutes. Remove from pans; cool thoroughly on wire racks. Fill and frost as desired.

Recipe was taken from McCall's Cookbook of the 1950s the section on "One-Bowl Cakes". I found the cake to be very light and great for a nice summer cake. The cake was frosted with "Betty Crocker" Rich and Creamy Cream Cheese Frosting. Very straight forward, easy, nice and tasty recipe.
