Names

Another local business, with a totally jammin' name. And a recipe for Lillie's Cake, because my grandson needs it for a school project, and his Mom can't find the recipe. Maybe I never gave it to her.

Lillie's Cake

Cream 1/2 cup butter(that just means to mix it up with a mixer until it gets soft(from SB))
Add 2 cups sugar
Add 2 eggs, beat in well
Add 1/2 cup sour milk (use buttermilk, or put about 1 Tablespoon of vinegar in a half cup measuring cup, and fill it with milk, which gives you sour milk. (from SB)
Add 2 cups flour (measured before sifting)
Mix to paste:
2 heaping tablespoons cocoa (really, really heaping (from SB))
1/2 cup hot water (it needs to be pretty hot (from SB)) -- add to batter, then
Add 1/2 cup hot water (making 1 cup in all) to which 1 teaspoon soda is added.
Add 1 teaspoon vanilla

Batter is thin, but that is as it should be.

Bake at 350 for 30 to 35 minutes in a greased rectangular cake pan -- regular big size.

I use the frosting recipe (margarine, cocoa, powdered sugar, vanilla, milk) on the back of the Hershey's cocoa box. Also, everywhere where cocoa is called for, I use half regular cocoa and half dark/sweet cocoa. It's good either way.
