Ingredients
  • CAKE:
  • 1/2c. + 1T. Crisco Shortening
  • 1&1/2c. sugar
  • 2&1/2c. flour
  • 2T. cocoa powder
  • 1t. baking soda

  1. FOR CAKE:
  2. The process of these ingredients may sound a bit odd, but following them in this order is a must.

  5. Stir cocoa & red coloring together.
  6. Add to creamed mixture & BEAT WELL. (again, 4-5 min.)
  7. Put salt into buttermilk and add to creamed mixture alternately with flour.
  8. Beat after each addition, but not as long as before. (Overbeating here will toughen the cake.)

  11. Add vinegar to mixture.
  12. Divide evenly between 2 greased & floured cake pans.

  14. FOR FROSTING:
  15. Cook flour & milk until thick stirring constantly.
  16. Cool completely. Very important!
  17. Cream sugar, butter & vanilla until fluffy.
  18. Add flour mixture to creamed mixure & BEAT WELL. (The mixture may look as if it is seperating before it gets to the desired creamy stage.)
  19. ASSEMBLY:
  20. Split each cake layer into two layers each.
  21. Fill layers & ice entire cake.
  22. If served in the summertime:
  23. Keep cake in a cool place until ready to serve.

  25. ENJOY!
