Hershey Cocoa Cake

1 1/4 cups Sugar
1/2 cup Shortening
2 Eggs
1 tsp Vanilla
2 1/2 cups Sifted Flour
1 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
1/2 tsp Salt
1 cup Buttermilk
1/2 cup Cocoa
1/2 cup Boiling Water

Mix ingredients and pour into pans. (I am assuming Mom meant into two round pans or a 9x13. But, hey, if you have leftover batter you can make a few cupcakes!)

Bake at 350° for 35 minutes. (Again, I think this depends on what type of pans you cook it in. So keep a nose out!)
