Light Yellow Cake (Betty Crocker) for Cupcakes

Recipe By :
Serving Size :   Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Volume 11-03 Mar 2008

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
5/8 cup soft shortening
[part butter for flavor]
1 7/8 cups sugar
2 large eggs
3 cups cake flour
or 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups milk
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla

Grease and flour two 9-inch layer pans or one 9 x 13-inch oblong pan.

Cream together flour and shortening, beat in eggs. Sift together flour,
salt and baking powder. Stir in alternately with milk and vanilla.

Pour into prepared pans. Bake until cake tests done in 350F. Bake layers 30
to 35 minutes, oblong 35 minutes.

Description : Creaming Method

When I put this mixture into cupcake papers, filled 2/3 full, I had a total
disaster in the oven, the batter just poured out of the cupcake papers and
spilled all over the oven floor. I cleaned up the mess and proceeded to
fill the cupcake tins (paper lined) slightly less than 1/2 full. This time
I came out with the best tasting but perfectly flat, hardly risen cakes. I
threw the second batch out along with the first batch which I couldn't get
out of the papers without breaking them apart. There was enough left to
make more, but I threw the batter away.

Next I reverted to the cookbook and learned that my oven wasn't hot enough
for cupcakes, it should have been 400F instead of 350F. I didn't use part
butter but used instead butter-flavored shortening. The amount I placed in
the cupcake liners was the right amount the first time, because I used the
creaming method. If, on the other hand, I had used the double-quick method
I should use only slightly less than half. And, if I used the double-quick
method, I should NOT use butter but only hydrogenated shortening.
I went on to use another tried and true Betty Crocker recipe for yellow
cake.
