Time 1h55m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 cups white sugar
1 cup butter
½ cup shortening (such as Crisco®)
5 eggs
3 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup evaporated milk
½ cup water
3 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour a fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®).
  • Combine sugar, butter, and shortening in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat until light yellow in color. Add eggs one at a time, mixing in each completely before adding the next. Mix in 1/3 of the flour, then 1/2 of the milk and water. Repeat with remaining flour, milk, and water, mixing completely between each addition. Add vanilla extract. Mix for 1 minute more.
  • Pour batter into the prepared tube pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 1/2 hours. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Invert onto a wire rack.
