Ingredients

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch square cake pan.

Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Set aside.

Beat sugar and shortening together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy; beat in egg and vanilla extract until smooth. Mix in flour mixture, alternating with milk, until just combined. Pour batter into the prepared pan.

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Cool cake in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
