2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Cream shortening, butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
3. Add eggs one at a time then beat 1 minute after each addition.
4. Measure flour and sift together with cocoa and baking powder then sift again.
5. Mix buttermilk and vanilla together.
6. Add to creamed mixture alternating with dry ingredients
7. Mix gently just until well blended then pour into a greased and floured tube pan.
