How To Make butternut cake

  • Step 1
    Cream shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Alternating with milk, beat in flour, beginning and ending with flour. Add flavoring. Pour into three floured and greased 9 inch layer cake pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes or until done.
  • Step 2
    Cream the butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy. Beat in sugar, flavoring and nuts. Spread between layers, top and sides. You may have to add a little milk to thin icing to make it spread.
