I don't remember if I've used this recipe, but it comes from my very trusted cookbook that has never let me down:

Silver White Cake:

2 and 1/4 cups flour (not self-rising!)
1 and 2/3 cups sugar
2/3 cup shortening
1 and 1/4 cups milk
3 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
5 egg whites

Heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease and flour rectangular 13X9X2 inch pan, or two 8 or 9 inch round pans. Beat all ingredients except egg whites on low speed, scraping bowl constantly, 30 seconds. Beat on high speed, scraping bowl occasionally, 2 minutes. Beat in egg whites on high speed, scraping bowl occasionally, 2 minutes. Pour into pan(s).

Bake until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean or until cake springs back when touched lightly in center, rectangle 40 to 45 minutes, rounds 30 to 35 minutes.


Hope that helps!
