How to make mom's cake:

Fudge Frosting:2 c. sugar2 big Tbsp. cocoa1/2 c. milk3 Tbsp. butter Combine flour, sugar and baking powder. Break the egg in a cup; mix with a fork and add enough milk to fill the cup. Add the flavoring and melted shortening. Mix all and pour into 8 x 8 greased pan.** Bake at 375° until done.

Prepare Frosting: Boil sugar, cocoa and milk all together until it forms a soft ball in cold water. Remove from heat. Add butter. Beat until thick. Pour over cooled cake.

*The original recipe calls for whiskey. I usually use vanilla. This is a nice yellow cake and almost any kind of flavoring is good -- lemon, almond, butternut, etc.

**I use nonstick spray.
