    List of Ingredients




    Chocolate Cake Doughnuts

    2 tablespoons shortening
    1 cup white sugar
    2 eggs
    1/2 cup cocoa
    1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    1 cup sour milk or buttermilk
    3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
    1 teaspoon soda
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon cream tartar
    White sugar for topping

    Recipe



    Beat shortening, sugar, and eggs together until creamy. Mix in cocoa. In a separate bowl combine vanilla and milk. Stir into sugar mixture. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cream of tarter in a large bowl. Stir into liquid mixture. Chill for two hours or overnight. Roll out half the dough on a lightly floured board to a 1/2-inch thickness. Cut into doughnuts.

    Heat two inches of oil to 375ºF. Lower basket and carefully slide doughnuts, (two at a time), into the preheated oil. Fry each doughnut about 90 seconds per side. Remove the doughnuts and drain on paper towels. Roll in sugar. Repeat with remaining dough. Makes 32 doughnuts.
