  • 1 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup shortening
  • 3 cups white sugar
  • 5 eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup milk
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup Dutch process cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour 2 (8 inch) loaf pans. Sift together the flour, cocoa and baking powder. Set aside.
