MOTHER’S
CHOCOLATE CAKE '
'A cup shortening
VA cup sugar ,
2 eggs
'A cup cocoa
2 'A cups cake flour
'A teaspoon salt
VA teaspoon baking soda
'A cup sour milk or buttermilk
1 cup boiling water
1 teaspoon vanilla
Cream shortening and add sugar
gradually. Beat until fluffy. Add
eggs and continue to beat. Add
vanilla. Sift flour, measure, and
sift again with cocoa and salt. Add
alternately with sour milk. Add
baking soda to boiling water.
When it is dissolved, add all at
once to mixture.
Stir only enough to blend ingre
dients. This makes a very thin bat
ter and a very moist and fine
textured cake. Pour into greased,
lightly floured 9x13-inch pan.
Bake at 3SO degrees for 30-35
minutes.
My mother has been making this
cake for years. She uses a milk cho
colate icing on it, but it would be
delicious without it. Peanut butter
or some other icing would be fine.
When my husband and I were
married sixyears ago, this was one
recipe / wanted to take along with
me. My husband absolutely loved
it and told everyone that it was the
best (he still tells people).
Dave and I are living and work
ing on the dairy farm he was raised
on. A new piece was being added
to the barn the day he came home
from the hospital. We have a
67-cow tie stall barn, raise our
own replacement heifers, and
grow corn, alfalfa, wheat, and
soybeans.
Our two children, Candace,
4'A , and Brendon, 2'A , love to
help milk the cows and feed the
calves.
Isaac and Sharon Horst a
newly married couple, work for us,
doing most of the milking and
Isaac helps with the field work.
We enjoy Lancaster Farming
and appreciate this opportunity to
share with you and other readers.

I live on a farm in Manheim with
my husband Mike and our three
little boys. Their names are Matth
ew, 4; Timothy, 2‘A ; and Mark, 9
months.
My husband has been farming
with Ms father ever since he was a
little boy. They have dairy, hogs,
corn, tomatoes, and tobacco so
they keep very busy all through the
year.
Farm life was a bit of a new
experiencefor me, but I love it. I'm
finding out that the farm is truely
the best place to raise children.
Vma fiM-time mom and I feel so
blessed to be able to stay at home
and raise our family. And, you've
probably guessed that there is nev
er a dull moment in our home.
Things that I enjoy doing are
spending times with family and
friends, enjoying the outdoors
whether it is at work or play, shop
ping, baking, and counted cross
stitch.
The recipe that I submitted is
wonderful dessert for all ages.
Adults love it just as much as child
ren do. It's light, creamy, and
tastes delicious. Enjoy!
