HO HO HO CAKE from Lancaster County




                                                                                   








This LUSCIOUS cake is credited to Lancaster County PA! This recipe is not mine but passed around from person to person & many claim to have been the creator. I do not claim to be the originator but I have made it & want to share this special cake with you!

FOR THE CAKE BATTER:
1/2 Cup Shortening
1 Cup Granulated Sugar
1 Cup Brown Sugar
1 TSP Vanilla
2 Eggs
Dash of Salt
2 Cups Boiling Water or Strong Hot Coffee ( I use coffee)
1/2 Cup Cocoa ( I use Hersheys)
2 TSP Baking Soda
2 TSP Baking Powder
2 Cups Flour
Beat the shortening until fluffy. Add the sugars & one teaspoon of vanilla. Beat in the eggs.In a deep bowl stir the hot water OR hot coffee together with the cocoa & baking soda it will foam up! Set aside. Stir the flour together with the baking powder. Beat this into the egg & sugar mixture. Beat in the hot water/coffee into your batter & stir well. Batter will be thin! Pour into a greased & floured 9x13 pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 38 to 40 minutes. Let cake cool. Once cool top with the following.
FILLING:
1&1/4 Cup Milk
6 TBS Flour
1/2 Cup Butter
1 Cup Shortening
1 Cup Granulated Sugar
Dash of Salt
1 TSP Vanilla
Cook milk with the flour until thick!

                                                                        



 Chill. Once cool beat the butter & Crisco together add the sugar vanilla & salt. Beat well then beat in the cool thickened milk mixture. Beat until light & fluffy. Spread onto cooled cake & refrigerate. Make the following frosting!
FROSTING:
1/2 Cup Butter
4OZ. Bakers Chocolate melted
1 Egg
1 TSP Vanilla
3 Cups Powdered Sugar
Dash of Salt
2 & 1/2 TBS Hot Water
Beat butter & chocolate together. Add vanilla, salt, egg & sugar Beat well! Add enough hot water to the spreading consistency you desire! Spread over cooled filling. Chill then remove from the refrigerator & let sit about 30 minutes until ready to serve!  This will let the filling soften & frosting too. Makes for a creamy bite of YUM! HO HO HO because it taste as good as Christmas ( that's what the locals say) !
