Grandma Howlett's Crazy Cake

2 C sugar
2 eggs
1/4 scant C cocoa
3/4-1 C shortening
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 3/4 C cake flour
1/2 tsp soda
1/2 C hot water
1/2 C milk

Place all ingredients in a bowl Beat 3 minutes. Bake 25 minutes in 350 degree oven.

We lived next door to my grandma, Ada Smith Howlett, my last two years of high school. I remember my Mom making this recipe: She'd mix the dry ingredients, then make indentations for the wet ingredients, then stir them all together. Simple, but mmm!
