Yield: 12 servings
------------------------
2 c Flour
1 1/4 c Sugar
1/2 c Cocoa
2 ts Baking soda
1 c Sour milk
1/2 c Melted shortening
Or salad oil = (I use canola or peanut oil)
1/2 c Boiling water
1 ts Vanilla
--------------------
1. Put all ingredients (in order) in one bowl and beat.
2. Bake in greased tube pan for about 55-60 minutes in a 350 degree oven. (some ovens may vary, so check the cake between 50 aand 60 minutes)
3. I frost my cake with a white buttercream frosting with a hint of real coffee -- it is absolutely delicious!
-------------------------------------------
Hint: To make sour milk, add one teaspoon of vinegar or lemon juice to the cup of milk and let it stand for a couple of minutes.
For the liquid shortening, I use peanut or canola oil; it is both healthy and tasty and makes the cake very moist.
