This is my Dad's favorite chocolate cake. For his birthday every year this is the cake he gets. Dad's Mom would always make this cake for him too when he was growing up.
Mix:
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups flour
3 tblsp. cocoa
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. soda
Add: 1 cup cream
1 tsp. vanilla
1 or 2 eggs
1/4 cup buttermilk
Mix well. Put in greased and floured 8x8 pan. Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes.
Icing:
1/4 cup crisco or butter
1/4 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
3 1/2 cups confectioners sugar (sift if lumpy)
1/2 cup cocoa
1/3 cup milk
Combine melted crisco or butter and salt, then add milk and vanilla. Mix in sugar in 3 parts. Mix until smooth and creamy. Add more sugar to thicken or milk to thin, as needed for good spreading consistency.
Yum cake!
