This is good warm, topped with butter, or just plain. You may want to use a glaze, but we like it plain. Ingredients:
1 cup butter |
1/2 cup shortening |
3 cups white sugar |
5 egg whites |
5 egg yolks |
4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder |
3 cups all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 cup milk |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
1 cup chopped pecans |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10 inch tube pan.
2. Sift together flour, cocoa and salt. Set aside.
3. Cream margarine and shortening. Gradually add sugar while beating. Add egg yolks one at a time and beat well after each addition.
4. Add flour mixture alternately with milk. Add vanilla.
5. In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until stiff. Fold into cake batter.
6. Pour into a greased and floured tube pan. Sprinkle nuts on top.
7. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Do not over bake.
