1 cup sugar
 4 Tbsp shortening
 4 Tbsp cocoa
 1 egg
 1 tsp. vanilla
 1 cup milk
 1 1/4 cup flour
 1 tsp. baking soda
 pinch of salt
 Cream sugar and shortening. Mix in cocoa; add egg and vanilla.
 Mix dry ingredients together.  Add alternately with the milk.  Mix
 well.  Pour into a greased and floured 7 or 8 x 11 inch pan
 (approximate size).  Bake at 350 degrees F for about 30 - 35 minutes,
 or until top springs back.
 This cake doubles - just use a 9 x 13 inch pan. Or it makes about
 12 - 15 cupcakes.
 It's wonderful with simple white frosting and a tall glass of milk.
