Mahogany Cake (a chocolate cake)
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup cocoa
1 cup hot coffee
Mix well add 1/2 cup cold water and set aside.
Cream together 1 cup white sugar and 3/4 cup of shortening, mix in two eggs.
Mix together 2 cups of flour, 1 tsp soda, 1/4 tsp salt.
Add liquid and flour mixture alternately to the sugar mixture, be sure flourmixture is well blended.
I use a Bundt tube cake pan, well greased and floured, Bake 350 degrees till toothpick comes out clean.
It is so sinfully chocolately that it needs no frosting but cool whip is good.
