Homemade White Cake

from Cooking During Stolen Moments

3/4 cup shortening or margarine

1 1/2 cup sugar

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 tsp almond extract

2 1/3 cup  flour

2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

1 cup cold water

4 egg whites

In a large mixing bowl, cream shortening or margarine with sugar until fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add extracts. Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with water. Beat just until combined. In another mixing bowl, beat egg whites on high speed until stiff peaks form; fold into batter. Pour into two greased and floured 9-in. round baking pans. Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes; remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
