Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a 9 x 13-inch cake pan.
Using a standing mixer, cream together the sugar and shortening. Add in eggs and vanilla and continue mixing until combined.
In a separate bowl mix together the salt, baking powder and flour. Add the dry ingredients into the sugar/egg mixture alternating with the milk until the flour is completely incorporated.
Pour into prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes.
To make the frosting, beat two egg whites to stiff peaks and set aside. In a sauce pan, bring maple syrup to a boil. Add a pinch of salt (I like to use flaky sea salt). Add hot syrup in a slow steady stream to the beaten egg whites continuing to whisk the whites while adding.
Frost cooled cake.
