Large Chocolate Cake

Recipe Ingredients

2 cups	396g / 13oz	Sugar - scant
6 tablespoons	90ml	Cocoa powder
1/2 cup	99g / 3.5oz	Shortening
2		Eggs - or 3
2/3 cup	157ml	Sour milk
2 cups	125g / 4.4oz	Flour - unsifted
2 teaspoons	10ml	Baking soda
1 teaspoon	5ml	Salt
1 cup	237ml	Boiling water - added last

Recipe Instructions

To sour the milk, put 2 tsp. white vinegar in a one cup measure, fill with milk to the 2/3 mark, and let stand 15 minutes. Sift the sugar together with the cocoa into a large mixing bowl. Add shortening and cream. Add the eggs and mix well. Sift the flour with the soda & salt. Starting with the dry, alternate with the sour milk in adding to the batter, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Stir in the water, and then beat for a couple minutes. Batter will be thin. Bake in a greased & floured 9x13" pan in a preheated 350 degree oven until the top is firm when pressed with finger - about 35 minutes, more or less.

Cool the cake completely before frosting with Quick Fudge Frosting.
