CRISCO GOLD LAYER CAKE

Measure into mixing bowl:
2 cups cake flour (sifted before measuring)
1 1/3 cups sugar
1/2 cup Crisco vegetable shortening
1 teaspoon salt

Stir vigorously by hand or with mixer (medium speed) 2 minutes.

Now stir in (yes, all by itself):
3 teaspoons baking powder*

Now add:
4 egg yolks (unbeaten)
1/3 cup milk
1 teaspoon lemon extract

Blend by hand or in mixer (medium speed) for 2 minutes. The batter will be smooth and thin. Pour into two 9-inch layer pans (1 1/2-inches deep) which have been rubbed with Crisco and lined with waxed paper.

Bake in moderate oven (375 degrees F) 25-30 minutes.

*Double-action or phosphate type baking powder (Calumet, Davis, Clabber Girl, Rumford, KC, etc.). With tartrate type (Royal, etc.) use 4 1/2 teaspoons.
