By: 2OFFIVE1

"I found this recipe and wanted to share it with you all. It turned out very good. It's not too sweet and not too chocolaty. You can add more cocoa if you'd like."

Original Recipe Yield 2 - 8x4 inch loaf pans

Ingredients

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

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.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the milk, mixing just until incorporated. Pour batter into prepared pans.
