a little help here please.

here i sit, all my ingredients gathered close. the taste of chocolate cake sauntering through my mind.

and i don't get the instructions. what do you mean by "alternate" sugar mixture with 1 cup buttermilk"

please hurry.

You mix the sugar/crisco/eggs with buttermilk
Mix soda into boiling water...then add small amounts of each
to your flour/cocoa mixture and mix well with each addition
Then Pour into your pan.

Alternate ingredients means some of the dry then some of the wet.

Do this; pour in a little of the sugar mixture, mix a little then pour in some of the buttermilk,mix a little & keep doing that back and forth till you've used up all of the sugar mix and buttermilk.

I usually pour in about 1/3 at a time.

hope that helps.

thanks, thats what i thought. but i made the mistake of looking up 'alternate ' in the dictionary. one of the definitions was - a substitute.

one cake on the way .
