Chocolate Pound Cake

2 sticks of butter

½ cup Crisco

3 cups sugar

5 eggs

3 cups flour

½ teaspoon baking powder

½  cup cocoa

¼  teaspoon salt

1 ¼  cup milk

1 tablespoon vanilla

Cream butter and Crisco, add sugar.  Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Sift flour, cocoa, baking powder, & salt. (I don't sift it!) Add dry ingredients alternately with milk.  Add vanilla before the last flour.

Bake in a greased and flour tube pan for 1 hour and 15 minutes 325°.

(I set my oven at 340° and bake it for one and a half hours.  It depends on your oven.)
