Large White Birthday Cake Recipe

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9 x 13 inch pan.

Sift together cake flour baking powder and salt.

In a large bowl combine shortening sugar yolks and vanilla; beat with mixer. Add sifted flour mixture alternately with milk in three parts; continue to beat until just blended. Pour batter into prepared pan.

Bake for about 35 minutes. Remove from pan and cool on a wire rack. Ice with Fluffy Boiled Icing. Sprinkle with coconut and chopped maraschino cherries if you wish.
