Ingredients

  • 2 cups shortening
  • 3 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 4 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 5 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 cups cottage cheese
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
