Recipe Introduction

"I'm about to pass along a recipe that's a family tradition in the Oliver household-a chocolate fudge cake made from scratch! There is no mix in the world that will ever touch it. My mom (a gourmet cook) created this recipe pre-World War II. It's the way cakes are supposed to taste...absolutely to die for."

1-1/2 cup sifted cake flour
1-1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup shortening
3 squares melted unsweetened baking chocolate
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs, unbeaten




Recipe

Beat 2 minutes, low speed. Add additional 1/2 cup milk. Beat 2 more minutes. Pour into greased and floured pan 9 x 13-inch cake pan. Bake at 375º for about 25 minutes.
