• 1/3 c. shortening
• 1-1/4 c. sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 c. flour
• 1/2 c. cocoa
• 1/8 tsp. soda
• 3 tsp. baking powder
• 3/4 c. milk

Cream the shortening and add the sugar. Beat the eggs and add them. Sift the flour, cocoa, soda, and baking powder together and add alternately with the milk. Flavor with the vanilla, put into greased and floured muffin pans, and bake in a hot oven. Remove from the pans, cool, and serve. If desired, these cakes may be iced with white icing and sprinkled with coconut.
