Get the lard out
Lard would be a healthier choice than trans-fat laden Crisco!

Chocolate Depression Cake
I meant to post this recipe right after I started this thread but I forgot...sorry.
Anyway, my Mom passed this recipe to me years ago and she got it from my Dads Mom. They always called it depression cake because it had no eggs in it and was cheaper to make back during the depression.
The batter is very thin - actually its runny.
But, this is the recipe that "humps up" in the middle on me.
3 cups of all purpose flour
2 cups of sugar
3/4 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup room temp water
1 cup cooled strong coffee
2/3 cup crisco oil
2 tsp vanilla
Put everything into a large bowl and mix well.
You can actually use a large spoon to mix this with.
You don't have to beat it to death.
Pour the batter into 2 prepared 9" round cake pans and bake
for about 30 - 35 mins in a 350 degree oven.
Excellent with choc butter cream frosting.

Butch thanks!! Anyone who needs to watch cholesterol, take note with no eggs!!! Also, anyone allergic to eggs (deathly allergic--have friends with children who are).
you cured humped cakes by baking one that has a depression?
Yes, the cake took its lumps and got depressed.

Not a bad idea......
If one layer had a depression and the other layer had a hump then they'd fit together and you wouldnt have to worry about
the top layer sliding off.
You guys are SO smart !
