Recipe: Amish Ice Cream Cake

Amish Ice Cream Cake

1/2 c Crisco
1 1/2 c powdered sugar
1/2 c milk
1/2 c cornstarch
1 1/2 c flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp vanilla
6 egg whites

Sift flour once and then measure. Add baking powder and cornstarch to sifted flour, then sift together 3 times. Cream shortening. Add the sugar gradually and cream well. Add flour mixture alternately with the milk. Add the vanilla and fold in the egg whites. Bake 20 minutes. Makes 2 round layers.
The recipe does not specify an oven temperature or pan size. I am guessing 350* and either an 8 or 9 inch pan, adjusting the baking time if necessary.
