I can't believe it worked!  This is my mom's recipe handed down from some
great-grandmother somewhere and it is so good.

Chocolate cake

ingredients:
1/2 c shortening (may use applesauce)
2 c sugar
2 whole eggs
1/4 c cocoa
2 c gf flour (I used Sylvan Border Farms)
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
3/4 c sour milk
1 c boiling water
1 tsp vanilla

flour, baking powder, salt, and soda together.  Add the dry ingredients to the

Quick and Easy Chocolate frosting

Melt 1 square baking chocolate (or 3 Tbs cocoa and 1 Tbs butter).  Add 6 Tbs
cream or milk, 3 Tbs butter and heat over low heat until melted and mixed up.
(I heat in microwave).  Remove from heat and add 1 pound powdered sugar (sifted)
all at once and 1 tsp vanilla.  Beat well.  If too thick add drops of milk to
thin, too thin, add powdered sugar.

This cake is really, really good if frozen then thawed out at a later
time.  Happy Easter everybody,
