Optional add ons: Chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, almonds, etc.) Chocolate chips Icing or sliced fruit in cream, or syrup Color 1 1/4 cup of batter a different color, place in the center while spooning into loaf, heart-shaped or bundt pan. Directions: Cream sugar and shortening by melting briefly in the microwave. Add eggs and combine well with vanilla and almond. Sift together flour and salt. Fold into wet mixture. Do not over-beat. This will cause unsightly, large tunnels through the cake. Grease (flour optional) your pan. Bake 1 hour at 325 degrees, until a knife comes out clean. Cool a little then remove from pan.
