Waldorf-Astoria Red Velvet Cake

Waldorf-Astoria Red Velvet Cake

Ingredients:

* 1/2 cup Shortening
* 1 1/2 cup Sugar
* 2 Eggs
* 2 ounces Red food coloring
* 2 tablespoons Cocoa -- heaping
* 2 1/4 cups Plain flour
* 1 teaspoon Salt
* 1 teaspoon Vanilla
* 1 teaspoon Baking soda
* 1 cup Buttermilk
* 1 tablespoon Vinegar
* 1 teaspoon Butter Flavoring (if desired)
Frosting

* 3 tablespoons Flour
* 1 cup Butter (Not Margarine- you can tell
the difference in the flavor).
* 1 teaspoon Vanilla
* 1 cup Milk
* 1 cup granulated sugar
Directions:
Cream Shortening, sugar and eggs. Make a paste with
coloring and cocoa and add to mixture. Add salt and
flour with buttermilk and vanilla.Alternately add
soda and vinegar and don't beat-just blend. Bake in
two 9-inch pans (greased and floured) for 30 minutes
at 350 degrees. Layers may be split to make four.

Frosting:

Cook flour and milk on low heat until thick. Then cool
(I put it in the freezer for this.). Cream sugar, butter,
and vanilla until fluffy. Add to flour-milk mixture.
Beat until mixture is like whipped cream. Spread on layers.
Sprinkle with nuts if desired
