Black and White

Hey Peoples,
*SCHOOL'S OUT FOR THE SUMMER!!!*
This morning I realized how bored I am going to be during the summer. I have decided to try and bake and cook and blog at least twice a week. today, since I finally have sugar back in my pantry, I made cupcakes.
*NOTE: This recipe is from my grandma who got it from a really old cookbook that was falling apart.

Grandma's White Cake Recipe
You Will Need:    - 2 Cups of Flour
                             - 3 teaspoons of baking powder
                             - 1/2 teaspoon of salt
                             - 1/2 cup of shortening (butter) *
                             - 1 1/4 cups of sugar
                             - 2 eggs
                             - 1 teaspoon of vanilla
                             - 1 cup of milk

#1: Stir flour, baking powder, and salt together.
#2: Cream shortening in a different bowl: add  sugar gradually, beating well between additions.
#3: Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
#4: Stir in vanilla.
#5: Add dry ingredients alternately with milk, beginning and ending with dry. Blend well.
#6: Pour into floured or lined pans.
#7: Bake for 20-25 mins, at 350 degrees F.  for cupcakes, makes 2 dozen, medium sized.
#8: Frost as desired.


Now, I like to add a little chocolate to make the "black and White" cakes. before baking I put on top of each cupcake some chocolate chips ( the more the merrier!) push them down with your finger so that they are covered with batter. Bake. Frost with chocolate icing.
