• Ready In: 43mins
• Ingredients: 10
• Serves: 12

ingredients

• 2 cups flour
• 2 cups sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1⁄2 cup buttermilk
• 1⁄2 cup margarine
• 1⁄2 cup Crisco
• 3 tablespoons cocoa
• 1 cup boiling water

directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
2. Mix first 6 items.
3. Melt other 4 and add.
4. Pour in a 9x13 pan.
5. Bake in a 350 oven for 38 minutes.
6. That's it. You don't have to grease and flour the pan. You don't have to cream anything. It is so simple there should be a law against it. Just be sure it has cooked through into the middle of the top. It may take a few minutes more or less in your oven. In mine, it takes exactly 38 minutes.
7. You can use this cake as the basis for Better than sex cake, or it will take any icing or frosting.

I use butter flavored Crisco, do I need to use margarine? If not how much butter flavored Crisco should I use?
