List of Ingredients




2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 egg yolks
1-1/3 cups cold water
3 egg whites
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 recipe Fudge Frosting (see recipe, below)


Recipe



1. Grease a 13x9x2-inch baking pan. Combine flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl beat shortening with an electric mixer on medium speed about 30 seconds or until softened. Add 1 cup sugar and vanilla; beat until combined. Add egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after each. Alternately add flour mixture and water, beating on low to medium speed after each addition just until combined. Thoroughly wash beaters.
3. In a large mixing bowl beat egg whites on medium to high speed until soft peaks form (tips curl). Gradually add 3/4 cup sugar, about 2 tablespoons at a time, beating until stiff peaks form (tips stand straight). Fold 2 cups of the cocoa batter into the egg white mixture to lighten. Gently fold cocoa-egg white mixture back into remaining batter until combined. Pour batter into prepared pan.
4. Bake in a 350 degree F oven about 40 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely in pan on wire rack. Frost with Fudge Frosting. Makes 12 servings.
Fudge Frosting: In a medium saucepan combine one 5-ounce can evaporated milk, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons margarine or butter. Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture is boiling; boil 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; add 1-1/2 cups semisweet chocolate pieces, stirring until melted. Add 1 tablespoon light-colored corn syrup; stir until combined. Use immediately.
