1 c. sugar
2/3 c. cooking oil or melted shortening
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 c. cocoa
1 c. sifted flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 c. walnuts

Melt shortening in 8 x 8 x 2 inch pan. Stir in sugar. Cool. Stir in vanilla and eggs into sugar mixture. Stir dry ingredients into mixture. (I buy presifted flour so I never sift anything.) Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Do not over cook!
