This is the cake I use all the time. It is moist and delicious and not that hard . The trick is to NOT overbake. Your fork should not come out gooy but there should be a few crumbs stuck to the fork. Another trick: Frost the cake when it is very very slightly warm. Cool enough so that it does not melt the frosting. This keeps it moist
Cream: 1/2 cup shortening - I now use only butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs (in Portugal 1 egg and 1 yolk)
In separate bowl combine: 1/2 cup cocoa
2 cups flour
Add flour mixture to creamed mixture alternately with 1 cup sour milk
Blend
Add: 1 cup water with 2 tsp baking soda (1/2 cup water in Portugal)
Pour into a greased floured pan and bake for 30 minutes at 350 (180 in portugal)
This cake is yummy even if you are not particularly a cake lover.!!
