1 cup Water
1/2 cup Buttermilk

Preheat your oven to 350ÃÂ°F (175ÃÂ°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.

In a large bowl, sift together the sugar, flour, and salt. Add the cocoa powder and mix well to combine dry ingredients.

In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, Crisco, water, and cocoa (if not mixed with dry ingredients) or simply melt the butter and Crisco together with the water over medium heat until warm.
4
Pour the warm liquid mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir vigorously until smooth and fully incorporated.
5
Beat in the eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla extract until the batter is smooth and glossy.
6
Sprinkle the baking soda over the batter and fold it in gently until just combined.
7
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
8
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
