Grandmama's White Cake

3 eggs beaten

1 1/2 C sugar

1/2 C margarine -melted

1/2 C shortening - melted

1 C milk

3 C flour

1/2 tsp salt

3 tsp baking powder - rounded

1 tsp vanilla

Sift flour, salt and baking powder.  Blend ingredients in order listed using an electric blender.  Prepare 2 cake pans by greasing and flouring.  bake in a 350F oven until toothpick comes out clean - appox. 30 mins. Use your favourite icing once cooled.

NOTES:     1:  This a heavier cake then what is found at cake shops but oh so tasty.

                   2:  My grandmother would use raspberry jam and lemon curd between the layers.

                   3. I use 1 C butter melted instead of the margarine and shortening.

                  4.  This makes a big cake and if there is some left over the next day, put a piece in a bowl and pour some milk over it -        yummy! (it's a french canadian thing to do)
