- Preheat oven to 375°F Butter two 8" cake pans, and dust with cocoa powder.
- Sift together cake flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix in shortening with electric mixer at low speed. Add 2/3 c milk. When incorporated, turn up speed to medium and add remaining 1/3 c milk. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla and melted chocolate and fold in until fully mixed.
- Divide batter between the two pans. Bake in preheated oven 25-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into one cake comes out clean.
- Cool 10 minutes in pans, then turn out onto cooling racks until fully cooled. Fill and frost with your favorite frosting.
