Big Mama’s cake was simple to make. All you do is mix flour, eggs, shortening, sugar, milk, and vanilla together to make a batter. Next, mix up the brown-sugar-cinnamon filling. Then, pour half the batter into a 9-by 13-inch pan, top it with the filling, and pour the remaining batter on top. The whole thing bakes for around 45 minutes at 350 degrees F, then comes out of the oven to cool.
