Chocolate cake recipe?!
Answers: I have seen many recipes here for chocolate cake but I am looking for one that I saw in a Good Housekeeping cookbook many years ago. It is a simple one bowl recipe that uses buttermilk and some shortening (instead of oil) in the recipe. It is really simple and tastes great. Everything is put into one bowl and mixed together and that is basically it. Does anyone have this recipe????
I didn't see that this one had shortening, but try this:

Dark Chocolate Cake
Ingredients-
2 cups boiling water
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter, softened
2 1/4 cups white sugar
4 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Preparation-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 3 - 9 inch round cake pans. In medium bowl, pour boiling water over cocoa, and whisk until smooth. Let mixture cool. Sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt; set aside.
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at time, then stir in vanilla. Add the flour mixture alternately with the cocoa mixture. Spread batter evenly between the 3 prepared pans.
Bake in preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes. Allow to cool.
