Cómo preparar Grandma's Chocolate Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan, or prepare your cupcake tins.
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened shortening and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer.
- Add ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder and 2 large eggs. Beat well until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients (step 4) to the wet ingredients (step 3), alternating with 1 cup of sour milk (see note). Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Pour batter into prepared pan. For a 9x13 inch pan, bake for 40-45 minutes. For smaller layer cakes or cupcakes, reduce baking time to 20-25 minutes or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting. (Note: Sour milk can be made by adding 1 teaspoon of white vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.)
- Frost with your favorite frosting or enjoy plain with a glass of cold milk!
