Innkeeper Comments:

This recipe is from Jeff's grandmother and brings to mind fond memories of his childhood. When he was young, his grandmother would call this "Funny Cake."

1 cup sugar

3/4 cup warm water

1/2 cup cocoa

1/2 square semi-sweet baking chocolate

1 tablespoon margarine

2 cups sugar
1/4 cup margarine
1/4 cup Crisco
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
dash of salt

Also:

2 unbaked 8" pie shells

Instructions:

Bottom: In a double boiler, combine sugar, warm water, cocoa, chocolate and margarine until melted. Let cool.
