Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. In a large bowl, cream shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in buttermilk and eggs. Combine flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt; add to the creamed mixture alternately with water, beating well after each addition.
  2. Pour into a greased and floured 4-qt. ovenproof bowl. Bake at 350° for 80-90 minutes (covering with foil halfway through baking time) or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from bowl to a wire rack to cool completely.
  3. For frosting, cream butter, shortening and vanilla in a large bowl. Gradually beat in the sugar and enough milk to achieve a spreading consistency. Tint with red food coloring. Set 3 tablespoons of frosting aside.
  4. Place the cake on a serving platter. Frost with remaining frosting, leaving an 8-1/2-in. x 6-in. x 6-in. triangle of cake unfrosted. Frost the triangle with some of the black frosting.
  5. Fill a heavy-duty resealable plastic bag with remaining black frosting; cut a small hole in corner of bag. Pipe a line from the tip of the triangle over the top of the cake to the other side, creating wings. With the same frosting, outline the edge of the triangle. For the eyes, pipe a 1/4-in. black dot on the flat side of each vanilla chip; position the chips on black triangle and press gently into frosting.
  6. Randomly place peppermint patties over red frosting for ladybug's spots; press down gently. Fill another plastic bag with reserved red frosting; cut a small hole in corner of bag. Pipe a smile under eyes. Insert licorice pieces above eyes for antennae. Yield: 12-16 servings.
