CRISCO OIL YELLOW CAKE

2 egg whites
1 1/3 cups sugar, divided use
2 cups sifted cake flour
3 teaspoons double-acting baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1/2 cup Crisco Oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 egg yolks

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a small bowl, beat egg whites with 1/3 cup sugar until thick and glossy but not stiff. Set aside.

In mixing bowl combine flour, remaining 1 cup sugar, baking powder and salt. Add milk, Crisco Oil, vanilla and egg yolks. Beat with mixer at medium speed for 3 minutes or beat 600 vigorous strokes by hand; scrape sides and bottom of bowl often. Stir egg whites into batter until well-blended, about 1 minute. Pour into two greased and floured 8- or 9-inch round pans.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 25-30 minutes, until cake springs back when touched lightly. Cool for 10-15 minutes, then remove from pans. Cool top side up on racks; frost when completely cool.
