Aren't these the cutest St. Patrick's cupcakes?! I think I'm going to make these a tradition from now on. March is such a boring month it needs a good cupcake tradition, don't you agree?
Hershey's Three Layer Golden Chocolate Cake

1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup shortening

3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

1) Preheat oven to 350° Fahrenheit.
2) In an electric mixer (or in a large bowl with a hand held mixer). Cream together shortening, butter and both sugars.
3) Add the egg yolks and vanilla and beat well.
4) Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt and add alternately with the milk to the creamed mixture.
5) In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until sift. Then fold stiff egg whites into the batter.
6) Fill lined cupcake tins 2/3rds full and cook for 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of one of the cupcakes comes out clean. Let cool and frost with cream cheese frosting (recipe follows).
