Preparation

Step 1

Directions
Line two 9-in. round baking pans with waxed paper and grease the
paper; set aside. In a large bowl, cream the shortening, butter and
sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well
after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine cracker crumbs and
baking powder; add to the creamed mixture alternately with milk,
beating well after each addition.
Transfer to prepared pans. Bake at 350° for 18-22 minutes or
until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for
10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool
completely.
In a large heavy saucepan, combine the egg whites, sugar and cream of
tartar over low heat. With a hand mixer, beat on low speed for 1
minute. Continue beating on low over low heat until frosting reaches
160°, about 8-10 minutes. Pour into a large bowl; add vanilla.
Beat on high until stiff peaks form, about 7 minutes.
Place a cake layer on a serving plate; spread with 2/3 cup frosting
and sprinkle with half of chips. Top with remaining cake layer.
Frost top and sides of cake; sprinkle with remaining chips. Yield:
12 servings.
