ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1⁄2 cup buttermilk
- 1⁄2 cup margarine
- 1⁄2 cup Crisco
- 3 tablespoons cocoa
- 1 cup boiling water
directions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Mix first 6 items.
- Melt other 4 and add.
- Pour in a 9x13 pan.
- Bake in a 350 oven for 38 minutes.
- That's it. You don't have to grease and flour the pan. You don't have to cream anything. It is so simple there should be a law against it. Just be sure it has cooked through into the middle of the top. It may take a few minutes more or less in your oven. In mine, it takes exactly 38 minutes.
- You can use this cake as the basis for Better than sex cake, or it will take any icing or frosting.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I live in the Feliciana area of Louisiana where most of the remaining plantation homes are. It is very lush and tropical, and very hot in the summer.
I guess my pet peeve would be people who try recipes, substitute endlessly and then complain that the recipe didn't work for them. I try to always fix a new recipe according to the owner's instructions, at least the first time.
