Love vanilla, love cake. So, vanilla cake? Oh yeah!!
1 cup shortening
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
2 tbsp vanilla extract
3 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 cup buttermilk
For the drizzle topping:
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 to 2 tbsp milk
In a large bowl, cream shortening and sugar until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each. Beat in vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder and baking soda; add to the creamy mixture alternately with buttermilk, again beating well after each addition.
Pour into a greased and floured 10-in. fluted tube pan. Bake at 350 for 55-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely.
Combine the confectioners' sugar, vanilla and enough milk to achieve desired consistency; drizzle over cake.
