 | | Directions | CAKE:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9 x 13 cake pan.
- Cream the sugar and shortening until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and beat until well mixed.
- Add the cocoa, milk, baking soda, and flour; mix well.
- Add the boiling water; beat just until well mixed. The batter will be thin.
- Pour into the prepared cake pan and bake in preheated oven for 35 - 40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when poked in the center of the cake.
- Allow cake to cool completely before frosting.
FUDGE FROSTING:
- Combine the sugar, cocoa, and salt in a saucepan; add the eggs and stir well.
- Add the milk and vanilla; bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Don't use too high of heat and watch carefully because it scorches easily. Boil for 1 minute after it comes to a rolling boil.
- Remove from the heat and beat until cool; spread on the cooled cake.
