This recipe was my great grandmother's and I request it for my birthday every year. So much better than a box mix.

Time 1h30m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 ½ cups white sugar
½ cup cocoa powder
½ cup shortening
2 eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1 cup boiling water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Beat sugar, cocoa powder, and shortening together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in 1 egg at a time until smooth. Sift 2 cups flour, baking soda, and salt together in a separate bowl. Add portions of flour mixture and milk alternately, beating well after each addition. Stir in boiling water and vanilla extract to form a thin batter. Pour batter into prepared baking dish.
  • Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Cool in the baking dish for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

This cake is a bit time-consuming to make, but it's worth it. It's the best chocolate cake I've ever had.

I'm allergic to chocolate, so I made this cake with a white cake mix instead. It turned out great!

This cake was a disappointment. It was dry and flavorless. I won't be making it again.

This cake is so easy to make and it always turns out perfect. I love that I can use a box mix to make it even easier.

The cake was good, but I found it to be a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar in the recipe next time.

This cake was a disaster! It was dry and crumbly, and the frosting was too sweet. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

This Red Devil's Food Cake was a hit at my dinner party! It was moist, rich, and chocolatey, with just the right amount of sweetness. I loved the cream cheese frosting, which was tangy and creamy. I will definitely be making this cake again.
