Mackey’s Chocolate Cake

Holiness begins in our minds and works out to our actions. That being true, what we allow to enter our minds is critically important. The television programs we watch, the movies we may attend, the books and magazines we read, the music we listen to, and the conversations we have all affect our minds. We need to evaluate the effects of these avenues honestly, using Philippians 4:8 as a standard. Are the thought stimulated by these various avenues true? Are they pure? Lovely? Admirable, excellent, or praiseworthy?

Time: 3:00  Cake:  Cream together the shortening and sugar, and add the
cocoa. In  a separate bowl, beat the eggs well and add to the cocoa
mixture. Add  the milk and flour alternately; dissolve the baking soda
in the water  and add. Beat all ingredients well.  Line two lightly
greased layer  cake pans with a layer of kitchen parchment (or even
cut-up grocery  bags will work). Pour batter into pans evenly, and bake
at 350 F.  until the cake leaves the edges of the pans and springs back
when  touched. Invert pans on a wire rack to cool.  Icing:  Mix the
cocoa and sugar; add the milk.  Add the melted butter  and cook to the
soft ball stage in a double boiler (234 F to 240 F).  Remove from the
heat and beat until icing thickens and begins to  wrinkle at the edges.
Let cool completely and then ice as for a  normal layer cake.  ~--
