I substituted butter for shortening in the cake and it came out light, fluffy and scrumptious! I also substituted unsalted butter for shortening in the icing and half and half for eveaporated milk and it came out light and fluffy as well. It was a bit on the sweet side and made way too much to ice the cake with. I have a ton left over. Next time I think I'll only put 1 cup of sugar. My husband and I ate this with hot tea and it was perfect for a cold autumn night.
