SELF-FROSTED YELLOW CAKE

Oven 350
1-1/3 cup flour                                                               Topping:  1/2 cup chocolate syrup
1 cup sugar                                                                                   1/2 cup warm water
2-1/2 t baking powder                                                                  1/3 cup sugar
3/4 t. salt
1/2 cup shortening
2/3 cup milk
2 eggs
1 t. vanilla

No need to sift flour.  In large mixer bowl combine all ingredients.  Cream well and put in greased 2 qt. deep casserole.  Spoon topping over and bake 40 - 50 minutes or until it tests done.  Cool 2 minutes.  Loosen edges with knife and invert onto serving plate (You can serve direct from casserole.)  Good with whipped topping or vanilla ice cream.  (For chocolate cake just add 2 envelopes premelted unsweetened chocolate to the cake batter.)

I've been making this since high school.  It's not pretty, but easy and oh so good warm from the oven......
