True Whipped Cream Cake

[mattl]

When I was going through my mother's clipped recipes I came across this one. I've never had a whipped cream cake and this one is different than any I came across when I googled whipped cream cakes. It's a true white cake, every ingredient is white, and it looks interesting. Next time I make it I'll reverse the steps and whip the eggs first as they need a clean, non-greasy beater. A little egg white wont affect the whipping cream much if any.

It's in the oven right now, I'll report back on the end result...

Just finished the cake. It's very good. Fine texture, very moist. I put my favorite cooked frosting on it since it's not too sweet.

Very simple:

Whisk in 3/4 c. milk into 3 T flour, cook stirring constantly till thick, cool for 2 or 3 minutes.

In the mean time have ready :

Cream 3/4c of butter/shortening (1/2 of each works well) with 3/4 c granular sugar and 1 tsp. of vanilla. Beat this for 8 to 10 minutes ( I learned this tip from Kelly...)

Then slowly add the cooked mixture into the creamed mixture and continue beating for 5 to 8 minutes. Will be very fluffy and not sweet at all.
