1 cup shortening
2 cups sugar
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
2 1/4 cups flour
1 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon mexican vanilla
red food coloring FROSTING:
1 teaspoon mexican vanilla extract
1 quart whipping cream
1 cup sugar
Cream together first 4 ingredients. Mix in eggs and then add flour and
buttermilk. Mix vinegar and soda together in a seperate bowl until bubbly
and add to batter with vanilla and mix well. (Red food coloring may be added
for desired color.) Grease and flour round cake pans. Bake at 350°F for
25-30 minutes. Cool completely and carefully slice into 4 layers. Beat
cream, sugar, and vanilla together for frosting. Frost each layer as you
stack them on top of each other. Best served if refrigerated for at least 1
hour. I sometimes bake this in a 9x13 to save time and effort and it's still
delicious.
