Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup lard
  • 3 cups sugar

Preheat oven to 325F. Butter and flour a tube pan. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, lard, and sugar together until they are light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Sift together the flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt.

Turn the batter into the prepared pan. Bake at 325F for 1 1/2 hours. Turn out onto a wire rack to cool. Fill the center with whipped cream and sprinkle with shaved chocolate, if desired.
