Tiny Cake

I've had requests for my Tiny Cake recipe. It's actually the "Silver White Cake" recipe from Betty Crocker (1969/1978 cookbook, page 240), cutting the ingredients in half to make an 8x8 size instead of 9x13. The perfect size not to overeat and easy to make to celebrate everyday and special occasions. For instance, "Today is Tuesday!" Observant blog readers will note that it is in another Chantal baker; this prize was obtained for only $2.50 at the outlet sale a few years ago! See, ya gotta go to this event! (Camber!)

TINY CAKE

1 cup flour...3/4 cup sugar...1 3/4 teaspoon baking powder...1/2 teaspoon salt...1/4 cup shortening (I use Smart Balance)...1/2 cup 1% or skim milk...1/2 teaspoon vanilla...2 egg whites

Heat oven to 350. Grease and flour 8x8 pan. Beat flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, shortening, milk and vanilla in medium mixer bowl on low speed, scraping bowl constantly, 30 seconds. Beat on high speed 2 minutes. Add egg whites, beat on high speed another 2 minutes. Scrape bowl sides as needed. Pour into pan. Bake 15-18 minutes until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Cool and frost.
