Hershey's Chocolate Cake

 

This was easier to make than I expected (I'm normally a boxed cake mix kind of girl and haven't made a ton of homemade cake.)  The cakes smelled divine after just a few minutes in the oven!
I layered buttercream frosting between the cakes and frosted them with the same; my family absolutely destroyed them!  I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we did!

¼ cup butter
¼ cup Crisco
2 cups sugar
1 tsp vanilla

Generously grease and flour two 9” round cake pans.

Cream cutter, shortening, sugar, and vanilla until light; blend in eggs.

Combine baking soda, cocoa, flour, baking powder, and salt in bowl. Add alternately with milk to batter. Blend well.
