Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
2.5 teaspoons baking powder
0.25 teaspoon salt
1 cup white sugar
0.33 cup vegetable shortening
1 egg egg
0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup milk

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch square baking pan thoroughly.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Set the dry ingredients aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the sugar and shortening with an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually mix in the flour mixture, alternating with the milk, until just combined. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, approximately 25 minutes. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
