Nancy's Chocolate Cake

You'll need:

  • 2 cups sugar
  • 3/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 3/4 cup cake flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • Dash salt
  • 1/3 cup dairy sour cream
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup shortening
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/2 tablespoon vinegar + enough milk to make 1/2 cup of liquid
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla or almond extract
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten

Sift (or stir) together the sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

Add the sour cream, 1 cup milk, shortening and butter.  Beat well - until all ingredients are combined.

Add the milk and vinegar, extract and eggs, and beat for for 1 minute on medium speed with a mixer or at least 150 strokes by hand.  Do not over beat, but make sure the entire mixture is the same color and texture.

Bake for 25 to 40 minutes at 350° F in two layer cake pans or in one 13" X 9" pan, which have been greased and floured. 

To ease release of cakes from cake pans, grease the pans and insert a layer of waxed paper that has been cut to fit pan bottoms.  Grease and flour the waxed paper before pouring the batter into the pans.

After baking, cool the cakes for 10 minutes before removing them from the pans.

Baking time varies with oven temperature and pan size.  The cake's center should spring back when touched.   Watch carefully in the last minutes of baking to prevent scorching the cake tops.
