    4       c            Sugar
    2       c            Flour
    1 1/3   c            Unsweetened cocoa powder
    2       ts           Baking powder
    2       ts           Salt
    1       c            Vegetable shortening
 
   Put all ingredients except the shortening in a large
   bowl; use a spoon to mix until uniform. Cut in
   shortening using either a pastry blender or your
   fingertips until mixture looks like chocolate
   cornmeal. Seal tightly in a plastic bag or jar, label
   and store at room temperature.

   TO USE: Put 2 eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla or orange
   extract in a mixing bowl; beat slightly. Stir in 4
   tablespoons melted butter or margarine which has been
   cooled. Lightly spoon 2 cupsof the mix into the mixing
   bowl; do not pack the mix when measuring. Beat well
   with a spoon to make a somewhat smooth batter; stir in
   1/2 cup chopped nuts, if desired. Spread into a
   greased and floured 8 x 8 x 2 inch pan. Bake in a
   preheated 350 degree F. oven for 30 to 35 minutes or
   until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
   Cool in pan then cut into squares.
