Chocolate Cake (Dorothy Boyd)

For anyone outside the family reading this, this chocolate cake is AMAZING. Our dad used to make it every Sunday after church because he (and we ) all love it.  We eat ridiculously large portions and never feel guilty.  When asked how much you want, it's typically "Half row or third?"  Just make sure you have milk to go along with it!

And again, apologies.  I don't have any directions, just ingredient list.  That's how we Lukes do it apparently. 

2 cups sugar
1 cup shortening
2 eggs
2 1/2 cups sifted flour
2 teaspoons soda
Pinch salt
1/2 cup cocoa
1 cup sour milk
1 cup boiling water

Bacon large loaf pan at 350° for 30 minutes. (*Dad wrote this using his Dragon software and I love that it says Bacon!)  I find that in Nebraska it's more like 40 minutes.

 Butter Chocolate frosting

1/4 cup softened margarine
1 teaspoon vanilla
Pinch salt
4 cups powdered sugar
6 tablespoons cocoa
1/3 to 1/2 cup milk
