Ingredients:

  • 3/4 cup shortening (or use butter)
  • 1 1/4 cups sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp warm water
  • 3 tbsp butter, soft
  • 3 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 5 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 2 tsp vanilla

Directions:

  1. Grease 3 cake layer tins well, and heat oven to 375 deg F/190 deg C,.
  2. Sift the dry ingredients together in a bowl: the flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon. (NOT the cocoa).
  3. Cream the shortening, and beat the eggs in a separate bowl.
  4. Add the sugar a little at a time, beating well. Add the beaten eggs; beat in well.
  5. Add half the sifted dry ingredients.
  6. Add the milk. Mix well.
  7. Add rest of sifted dry ingredients, and mix well.
  8. (You might have to eyeball this next step).
  9. Fill 2 greased layer tins, keeping back 1/3 of the batter. Tap the tins lightly on the counter to remove air bubbles.
  10. Mix the cocoa powder and warm water (1 tablespoon each), add to the leftover one-third of the batter, and mix in well.
  11. Scrape into the 3rd cake tin.
  12. Bake the layers for 15 - 20 minutes, but test with a skewer before removing from oven.
  13. Cool, and make the filling and icing.
  14. Use the cocoa layer as your middle layer when assembling.
  15. Cream the butter, adding the confectioners' sugar very slowly with the cocoa, and beating very well until really light and fluffy.
  16. Add the vanilla, and then add the coffee 1 tablespoon at a time (in case you do not need 5 tablespoons) until the mixture is soft enough to spread. (If you'd prefer a milder taste, use milk instead of coffee).
  17. Use the layer with the cocoa added as your centre layer.
