This is the easiest cake recipe I know and I am always making changes to it. My friends came over for this one, and we enjoyed it with a nice bottle of Pinot Noir. Thanks for the sweet memories guys.
Ingredients:
2 cups flour
1 ½ cups sugar
2/3 cup shortening
2 eggs
A pinch of salt
½ cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup boiling water
1 ½ teaspoons almond extract
16 oz fresh strawberries (cut up to size desired, save a few for garnish)
Splash of full flavored molasses
Place all ingredients in a bowl. Mix well but do not beat. Place in desired size cake pans that have been buttered and lightly floured (I like to make one large circle cake and then the rest of the cake mix is placed in mini loaf pans so friends can take it home easily). Bake in oven at 350*F. for approximately 30 minutes.
This also makes for a great breakfast in the morning. ☺
