This is part of my family history!
2 sticks margarine
1/2 cup shortening
3 cups sugar
6 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
3 cups plain flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 cup evaporated milk
Cream margarine, shortening, and sugar. Add eggs, vanilla, and milk. Beat on medium speed for 3 minutes. Add flour and baking powder and cream on slow speed for 7 minutes. Bake in a bundt pan at 325 degrees for 1 1/2 hours. Do not open the oven. Cool in pan 10 minutes.
For a chocolate version, which my great grandmother did NOT make: Add 3/4 cup cocoa. Decrease flour by about 1/4 cup. Decrease eggs to 5.
