Step by Step Method
Step 1
Combine flour, sugar, cocoa, salt, and baking soda. Add melted shortening, vanilla, vinegar, and water. Mix well.
Step 2
Bake in loaf pan at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 35 minutes. The cake wasn't altogether cooked all the way for me but it always best to "cook" in turned off oven and not dry out cake. for a few minutes and that seems to do it.
Step 3
While cake is baking, make the frosting.
Step 4
FROSTING: Add enough cream to make a paste of the sugar, flour, cocoa and vanilla. Spread frosting on the cake as soon as you take it out of the oven; the frosting cooks as it cools. I put the cake back in the turned off oven for a minute or so
