Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease 2 9-inch layer pans and
line with parchment paper circles.  In a large mixing bowl, blend sugar
and oil. Add eggs and mix until  well blended and mixture is thick and
lightened in texture. In a  separate bowl, stir together flour, salt,
baking soda, baking powder,  cinnamon, and cocoa. Fold dry ingredients
into wet - and mix -  drizzling in cola as mixture blends. If using an
electric mixer, use  slow speed and mix about 3 minutes, scraping sides
and bottom once to  incorporate all ingredients evenly. This is a thin
batter.  Bake, on middle oven rack, 35-40 minutes, until cakes spring
back when  lightly touched.  ICING: Cream melted chocolate, shortening,
butter and vanilla with  cocoa and l cup of the confectioner's sugar.
Add remaining  confectioner's sugar and whip on high speed, adding in a
bit of  water, cola or half-and-half to get a light, fluffy
consistency. If  not using right away, re-whip before using. Add
additional warm water  to get correct consistency (a tablespoon at a
time).  DECORATING: Place one layer on a cardboard circle. Ice this
with  about 1/2 inch of frosting. Place top layer and ice cake - sides
first. Coat sides with colored sprinkles. Garnish bottom edge with
coins. Garnish top with coins - placing them either flat on top of
cake or standing up (You may cut some of the coins in half to garnish
border of top layer). Place a couple of miniature dreidels in centre
if desired or Chanukah candles (can be lit when menorah is lit).
