1 cup
cornstarch (or try arrowroot)
1 tsp
kosher salt
2 tsp
baking soda
14 tbsp
nonhydrogenated vegetable shortening**
2 cups
granulated sugar
1 1/2 tbsp
white wine (or white balsamic) vinegar
1 tbsp
pure vanilla extract
2 cups
lukewarm water
For the glaze 8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup

kosher salt
1 tbsp
pure vanilla extract (or seeds of 1/2 vanilla bean)

*Cut It In Half: To make one 8-inch or 9-inch round cake, simply cut all of the ingredients in half and follow the same instructions. Baking time for an 8-inch cake should be at least 30 minutes; for a 9-inch cake at least 25 minutes.
**In place of 14 tablespoons of shortening, you can use 10 tablespoons (140 g) vegetable or canola oil. Pay close attention to the recipe instructions, as the method will be different as well.
