A.P. Cake

Directions

1. 1
   **Note: For those who wish a truly dense cake, increase the shortening by 1/8 cup and only add water until the dough is between cookie and muffin-type density.
2. 2
   Preheat oven to 350° Fahrenheit.
3. 3
   In mixing bowl, combine flour, sugars, baking powder and salt. Mix until ingredients are evenly distributed.
4. 4
   Add shortening and cut in until mixture is crumbly. Stir in water gradually until dough is thinner than cookie dough, but thicker than cake batter - about like muffin batter or just a bit thicker. (This may use more or less water depending on altitude, weather, etc., of course.)
5. 5
   Spread mixture into greased 9-inch round cake pan. Sprinkle top with cinnamon sugar.
6. 6
   Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until pick inserted in center comes out clean.
