Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350° and grease and flour the bundt pan. In the bowl of a stand mixer combine the shortening, butter, sugar and vanilla extract. Beat on medium-high speed until light and creamy, 3-5 minutes.
  • Add the oil, flour, eggs and buttermilk. Mix on low until just combined. Stir in the instant pudding, flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt. Mix on low until combined. Pour into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 60 minutes or until golden brown and baked through.
