Instructions

  1. Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.
  2. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl.
  3. Beat sugar and shortening together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes.
  6. Cool cake completely and top with your favorite frosting.
