Mom's Chocolate Cake Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 c. sugar
• 1 c. shortening
• 3 eggs
• 3 T. cocoa
• 1 tsp. soda
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1 c. buttermilk or sour milk (if you don't have any buttermilk just use milk and add about a tsp. of vinegar to make it curdle. Will need to let it sit for a couple of hours before using.)
• 2 c. flour

Mix ingredients and pour into a greased 9 x 13 cake pan. Bake in preheated oven at 350* until center springs back or toothpick inserted comes out clean. Approx. 30 minutes. This is the moistest cake I have ever eaten. It is great plain or with a hot fudge sauce poured over top as you serve it, or with a cream cheese frosting after it has cooled, or just sprinkle some powdered sugar on top before it has cooled completely.
