Yield 16-20 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup shortening
2-3/4 cups sugar
5 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup baking cocoa
Whipped cream, optional

Steps:

  • In a bowl, cream butter, shortening and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add milk and vanilla. Sift together dry ingredients; add gradually to creamed mixture, blending just until well mixed. Pour into a well-greased fluted tube pan. Bake at 350° for about 1 hour (toothpick will not come out clean when testing). Let stand 2-3 minutes before inverting onto a cake plate. Serve warm or cold with whipped cream if desired. Refrigerate leftovers.
