This is a favorite of my older brother, who requests it each year as his birthday cake . I got this recipe from my Mom - who calls it John's Mocha Cake , after my brother. I have to admit, the recipe for the frosting put me off a bit..but once you taste it, you'll quickly get over all that shortening that went in there! Ingredients:

1 cup crisco shortening |
5 eggs |
1 teaspoon salt |
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1 cup milk |
1 1/2 cups crisco shortening |
1 cup sugar |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
2 eggs |

1/2 teaspoon instant coffee granules |
