This is the one that I used for Dylan's first birthday a couple weeks ago, and it ended up being delicious!
Cake:
3 cups cake flour
1 3/4 cups sugar
1 1/4 cups water
1/2 cup shortening
3 T water, 3 T canola oil, 2 tsp baking powder; mixed together
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour two cake pans. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. Using an electric mixer, beat until well mixed, about 4 minutes. Pour batter into cake pans. Bake for 40-45 minutes, until cake tester inserted in centre comes out clean. Cool in pans for 10 minutes before removing to wire racks.
Frosting:
1/2 cup milk free margarine, softened
3 cups unsifted confectioners sugar
1/4 cup water
1 tsp vanilla extract
Beat margarine on medium speed in a large mixing bowl until softened, about 1 minute. Add remaining ingredients. Beat on low speed until ingredients are moistened. Beat on medium speed until creamy.
Good luck!
