Ingredients:
1 1/4 cup Sugar
1/2 cup Cocoa
1/2 cup Water, boiling
1/2 cup Shortening
2 Eggs
2 tsp Vanilla
2 cup Cake flour, sifted
1 tsp Baking soda
2/3 cup Buttermilk
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Combine about 1/2 cup sugar with
cocoa and boiling water, and cook over a low heat, stirring
constantly, until the mixture is glossy. Cool.

Cream the shortening and eggs with the remaining sugar. Add the cocoa
mixture and the vanilla. Add the dry ingredients and the buttermilk
alternately.

Bake in 2 greased layer pans at 350 degrees F. for 30-35 minutes. You
can also make this as a single-layer cake. Just bake it a few minutes
longer, as it is thicker.

NOTES:

* A moist 2-layer chocolate layer cake; this was our wedding cake.
Yield: serves 8.

* Frost the cake with your favorite frosting; we used chocolate
mousse filling.

: Difficulty: easy.
: Time: 30 minutes preparation, 1 hour baking and cooling and
frosting. : Precision: measure the ingredients.
