 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    2      c.            sugar
      1/2  c.            shortening
    2                    eggs
    2      tsp.          baking soda
      1/2  c.            sour milk
      1/2  c.            cocoa
    2      c.            flour
    1      tsp.          vanilla
    1      c.            boiling water
                         Frosting:.
    1      lb            powdered sugar
      1/2  c.            shortening
      1/2  c.            peanut butter
    1      tsp.          vanilla
    1                    egg white
                         Milk (enough to make a creamy frosting)
 
  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, don't 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.
