Chocolate Pound Cake
1 c. butter
1/2 c. shortening
3 c. sugar
5 eggs
3 c. flour
1/2 t. salt
4 T. cocoa
1 c. milk
1 T. vanilla
Cream together butter, shortening and sugar. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Add dry ingredients alternately with milk and vanilla. Pour into a greased and floured tube or bundt pan. Bake at 300 degrees for 1 hour, 20 minutes or until it tests done with toothpick.
The first time you cook this set your timer for 60 minutes, adding 5 minutes as needed until it tests done. You can also cook this in two loaf pans, setting your time originally for 40 minutes and again adding 5 minutes as needed until cake tests done.
