Ingredients

3/4 cups Shortening
1 cup White Sugar
3/4 cups Dark Brown Sugar
3 whole Eggs
2-1/4 cups Unbleached Flour
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
1 teaspoon Salt
3/4 teaspoons Baking Soda
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
1 teaspoon Ground Cloves
1 cup Milk
_____
FOR THE ICING:
1-1/2 cup Confectionary Sugar
1/4 cups Water

Directions

1

Preheat oven to 350°.
2

Grease and flour a 33 x 23 x 5 cm pan.
3

Cream together shortening, brown and white sugars, and eggs.
4

Sift together the dry ingredients.
5

Alternate adding dry ingredients with milk into the creamed mixture. Don't overmix.
6

Bake for 35 minutes. Test with a toothpick. If the toothpick comes out clean, it is done.
7

Poke holes with a fork all over the top of the cooled cake.
8

Mix the icing ingredients (I'm guessing on the measurements for the icing-I usually eyeball it). It should be pretty runny so that it goes into the cake.

Dribble the mixture of confectionery sugar and water on top of the cake. Enjoy!
