Instructions: Cream sugar, shortening, and 1 egg (save second egg for frosting). Add baking soda and milk. Then add dry ingredients, cocoa and flour. Add vanilla and boiling water. Beat on medium speed for 2 min. Bake at 375 degrees for 30 min.

Frosting:.

Put powdered sugar, shortening, peanut butter, vanilla, and egg white in a bowl. You can mix by hand or by mixer on medium speed. As you start mixing, start adding milk a little at a time. When your frosting is creamy but not too stiff, your frosting is done.

Spread on cooled cake. If cake is still warm to touch, dont put frosting on because it will warm up the frosting and start sliding off the cake.

Sure hope you all enjoy this as much as we do.
