Dutch Cocoa Cream Cake

2 Cups Cake Flour, Sifted 2/3 Cup Shortening
1 2/3 Cup Sugar 1 1/3 Cup Diluted Evaporated Milk (Half Water)
4 Teaspoons Baking Powder 1 1/3 Teaspoon Vanilla
1 Teaspoon Salt 3 Eggs
5 Tablespoons Cocoa Sweetened Whipped Cream

Line the bottom of two 9-inch layers or one 13x9 baking pan with parchment paper; grease and flour the sides. Sift together cake flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and cocoa. Add shortening. Combine evaporated milk and vanilla. Pour in a little over half of the milk mixture into flour mixture. Beat 2 minutes. Add eggs and remaining liquid. Beat 2 minutes. Batter may appear "curdled", but do not worry. Pour into prepared pan(s). Bake at 350 degrees until cake tests done, about 35-40 minutes. Cool. Split each layer into 2 layers. Spread sweetened whipped cream between layers. Finish with "Milk Chocolate Icing". Cake will keep in refrigerator 2-3 days.

For smaller cake: 1 1/2 Cup Flour, 1 1/4 Cup Sugar, 3 Teaspoons Baking Powder, 3/4 Teaspoon Salt, 4 Tablespoons Cocoa, 1/2 Cup Shortening, 1 Cup Diluted Evaporated Milk, 1 Teaspoon vanilla, 2 Eggs, and Sweetened Whipped Cream.

Recipe - Jean Hansen - From Betty Crocker Picture Cookbook, 1950.
