2 c sugar
1 c shortening
4 eggs
3 c flour
2 tsp soda
1 tsp salt
1 c milk + 1 T vinegar
1 c boiling water
6 T cocoa
Cream sugar, shortening, eggs. Add dry ingredients. Then blend in milk, vinegar, boiling water, and cocoa. This makes a very large cake. I baked mine in a 9 1/2 x 13 1/2 and it was super thick. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-50 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. So good.

Thanks for posting this recipe! Can't wait to try it. I loved it when Grandma made this. I miss her too!
What about your frosing? I always have trouble with frosting.
The frosting came straight from a can. It was just the "classic chocolate" variety from Betty Crocker.
This sounds awesome! I'm going to have to try this one!
Thanks for bringing us a chunk of this deliciousness! I miss Grandma, too. She was an excellent cook. Also, thanks for using a little more frosting than she did. It makes it that much better!
