Ingredients
FOR THE CAKE
- ½ cup shortening
- ½ cup (1 stick) salted butter
- 1 cup water
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon almond extract
- ½ cup whole buttermilk, well shaken
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
FOR THE FROSTING
- 1 lb. box of powdered sugar (also called confectioners’ sugar)
- ½ cup salted butter, softened to room temperature
- 3-4 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional garnish: rainbow sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Grease a 10×15″ non-stick jelly roll pan with shortening or line with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Bring the shortening, butter, and water to a boil.
- Place the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
- Pour the hot butter mixture over the flour mixture in the bowl. Use an electric mixer to beat for 1 minute on medium speed.
- Slowly add the vanilla, almond extract, buttermilk, and eggs last. Beat for one more minute and then pour the batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Place the cake on a wire rack to cool.
- Once the cake has cooled completely, prepare the frosting.
- In a large bowl, with a mixer on low speed, combine the powdered sugar, butter, milk, and vanilla. Beat on medium speed for 1-2 minutes, or until fluffy and creamy. If desired, add more milk until the frosting is a spreadable consistency.
- Spread the frosting on the cooled cake. Garnish with sprinkles. Slice into small squares and serve!
Notes
- Don't have buttermilk? Make your own buttermilk substitute by adding ½ tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice or ½ tablespoon of white vinegar to ½ cup of regular milk. Let it sit for about 5 minutes, give it a stir, and use in the recipe as directed.
