Very rich because of the addition of buttermilk. I like to use Butter Cream Icing (Buttercream Frosting) for the icing. Or Decorator Buttercream Icing if I need to decorate the cake. Ingredients:
1/2 cup cocoa |
1/2 cup boiling water |
2/3 cup shortening |
1 3/4 cups sugar |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
2 eggs |
2 1/4 cups flour |
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 1/3 cups buttermilk |
Directions:
1. In small bowl combine cocoa and boiling water, set aside. Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Grease and flour 2 9-inch round pans. (Don't use 8-inch pans or they will overflow!).
3. Cream shortening, sugar, and vanilla until light and fluffy.
4. Add eggs, beat well.
5. Combine flour, baking soda and salt; add alternately with buttermilk to creamed mixture. Blend in cocoa mixture. Pour into prepared pans.
6. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until they test done. Cool and frost with a icing of your choice.
