This is a very old recipe. We like it unfrosted, but it could also be baked in 2 (8 ) round pans and frosted. Very moist. Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour |
1/2 cup cocoa |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup shortening |
1 3/4 cups sugar |
3 eggs |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 tablespoon hot water |
1 cup cold water |
Directions:
1. Sift together flour, cocoa, and salt.
2. Cream shortening and sugar together until light and fluffy.
3. Beat in eggs, one at a time.
4. Stir in the vanilla.
5. Dissolve baking soda in the hot water.
6. Stir into the creamed mixture.
7. Add dry ingredients to creamed mixture alternately with cold water.
8. Beat well after each addition.
9. (I make 5 dumps :dry- water- dry- water- dry).
10. Bake in a greased and floured 13 X 9 X 2 pan for 20-25 minutes at 350F.
