Vanilla Ring Cake

1 c. shortening
2 c. sugar
4 eggs
2 T. vanilla extract
3 c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 c. buttermilk

In a large bowl, cream shortening and sugar until light and fluffy, about 5minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder, and baking soda; add to the creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk, beating well after each addition.

Pour into a greased and floured 10-inch flouted tube pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 55-65minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 10minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely.

Drizzle
1 c. confectioners' sugar
1 to 2 T. milk
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

Combine ingredients and drizzle over cake.

*If I would have had it, I would have used clear vanilla so the drizzle was white, but all in all, it was great. We had it for breakfast and with a tall glass of milk, couldn't ask for more!*
