Ingredients
2 c. sugar
1/2 c. shortening
2 eggs
2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 c. sour milk
1/2 c. cocoa
2 c. flour
1 tsp. vanilla
1 c. boiling water
Frosting:.
1 lb powdered sugar
1/2 c. shortening
1/2 c. peanut butter
1 tsp. vanilla
1 egg white
Milk (enough to make a creamy frosting)
Directions
- Cream sugar, shortening, and 1 egg (save second egg for frosting). Add
baking soda and milk. Then add dry ingredients, cocoa and flour. Add
vanilla and boiling water. Beat on medium speed for 2 min.
- Bake at 375 degrees for 30 min.
Frosting:.
- Put powdered sugar, shortening, peanut butter, vanilla, and egg
white in a bowl. You can mix by hand or by mixer on medium speed. As
you start mixing, start adding milk a little at a time.
- When your frosting is creamy but not too stiff, your frosting is done.
- Spread on cooled cake. If cake is still warm to touch, don't put frosting
on because it will warm up the frosting and start sliding off the cake.
