This buttermilk cake is good to serve family and friends as dessert or with a tall glass of milk anytime.
- 2 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 cup shortening
- 6 eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup buttermilk
- Beat sugar, shortening, vanilla and eggs together. Mix flour, salt and baking soda with a wire whisk and add to creamed mixture. Add milk and continue mixing until smooth. Divide between 3 sprayed cake pans and bake in preheated 325 degree oven for 30 to 35 minutes until centers test done. Let cool and remove from pans. You can frost with any frosting you like. I used the chocolate below.
- Chocolate Frosting
- 1 stick or 1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened

Mix all ingredients with mixer until spreading consistency. Spread on cake.
