b === Sour Milk Chocolate Cake === This is a very easy and very tasty chocolate cake recipe. Blend: 1/2 cup shortening (oil e.g. Mazola, Wesson) 1-1/2 cup sugar (regular refined white stuff) Mix & add: 2-1/2 cup flour 1/2 cup cocoa 1-1/2 tsp baking soda 1 tsp salt Add: 1 cup sour milk 1 tsp vanilla Add: 1/2 cup boiling water. Mix thoroughly and bake for 35 minutes at 350 degrees. Results in scrumptios chocolate cake. Note: If you don't happen to have any old sour milk, or if you want to do it the easy way (actually, I've never tried real honest-to-goodness sour milk), a cup of sour milk may be created by pouring out a cup of milk when you start and adding a little vinegar or lemon concentrate (a tsp or so); then let it stand until you need it.

At least that's the way we've always made in my family, where it's known as Red Holiday Cake or just Red Cake. Used to have it every Thanksgiving -- good stuff. Wombat
