Grammie Bea's Crisco Yellow Cake
By: Linda's Busy Kitchen
Mar 27, 2007
My gram considered this to be her "BEST" yellow cake...It was WONDERFUL! Try it, you'll LOVE it! My gram used chocolate frosting lots of times, and then sprinkled chopped walnuts all over the top. Sometimes she would use Grammie Bea's Special Vanilla Frosting instead... YUM! Keep in mind this is a "homemade" cake not a "box" cake. It has a heavy, moist texture a lot like Wacky Cake. Note: Don't over bake. Check cake at 30 mins. and every 5 mins. after, until a toothpick stuck in the middle of the cake comes out clean.

I love the taste and texture of old fashion cakes and knew this yellow cake would be perfect to go with Whipped Chocolate Cream Icing, which I made up to frost this cake. Everyone was asking me for seconds, so I took that as a definate 5 stars for this cake! It was so moist and delicious!

I have made this cake several times now as everyone keeps asking for it. Awesome cake! Linda, your recipes have never failed me yet, and this cake is another of yours that is sure to please. Your grammie sure knew how to make a good cake. We all loved the taste and texture. I used her frosting too, and we all loved it!

I did half the recipe. It gave me only a cake (one 9" round pan). I used 2 eggs cause it's hard to divide 3 eggs LOL I cooked it near 35 minutes. I reduced the sugar a little bit. I like the consistency and the taste of the cake. Thanks Linda 
Made for Zaar Star Game.
