Busy Day Cake

This is one of the best and most simple cakes I have ever made.  This is also a quite old recipe.  When strawberry season starts I will make at least two of these a week, strawberries and whip cream make the best topping for this cake.
1 2/3 cup sifted flour
1 cup sugar
1/4 tsp salt
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/3 cup shortening
2/3 cup milk
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla

Sift flour, sugar, salt and baking powder together in a bowl.  Add shortening, milk, unbeaten egg and vanilla.  Beat well.  Pour in a greased and floured 9in pan.  Bake 35 minutes at 350 degree.  Serve with whip cream and strawberries. Enjoy!
