Preparation
 
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Combine about 1/2 cup sugar with
cocoa and boiling water, and cook over a low heat, stirring
constantly, until the mixture is glossy. Cool.

Cream the shortening and eggs with the remaining sugar. Add the cocoa
mixture and the vanilla. Add the dry ingredients and the buttermilk
alternately.

Bake in 2 greased layer pans at 350 degrees F. for 30-35 minutes. You
can also make this as a single-layer cake. Just bake it a few minutes
longer, as it is thicker.

mousse filling.
