1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F Combine about 1/2 cup sugar with cocoa and boiling water, and cook over a low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is glossy.

2. Cool. Cream the shortening and eggs with the remaining sugar.

3. Add the cocoa mixture and the vanilla. Add the dry ingredients and the buttermilk alternately.

4. Bake in 2 greased layer pans at 350 degrees F for 30-35 minutes.

5. You can also make this as a single-layer cake.

6. Just bake it a few minutes longer, as it is thicker.

7. NOTES: * A moist 2-layer chocolate layer cake; this was our wedding cake.
