1 tsp. Crisco
1 chocolate cake mix (with pudding in the mix) any brand
4 eggs
1/2 c. oil
3 tbsp. water, warm

Grease a 9 x 13 inch cake pan (bottom only) with Crisco. Dump cake mix directly into pan. Make a well, put in 4 eggs, beat with fork into dry mix, add oil and water and stir with a fork until most of the mixture is well mixed.

No lumps remain. If nuts or chocolate chips are preferred sprinkle in now and stir. Bake at 325 degrees for 20 to 30 minutes until top is shiny. Cool completely in pan then ice and cut and remove.
