Cake Instructions:

2. Cream shortening, sugars, powdered whites and eggs until very light and fluffy.
3. Mix heavy cream, food coloring and water with vinegar. Mix dry ingredients together. Beginning and ending with dry ingredients add alternately to creamed mixture beating well after each addition.
