   3      Cups          flour
   2      Cups          sugar
     1/3  Cup           cocoa
   1      Tsp           baking soda
     1/2  Tsp           salt
   2      Cups          water
     3/4  Cup           vegetable oil
   2      Tbs           white vinegar
   1      Tsp           vanilla
                        FROSTING:
     1/3  Cup           unsalted butter -- softened
     1/3  Cup           solid vegetable shortening
     2/3  Cup           sugar
   1      Tsp           vanilla
     1/2  Cup           milk -- heated to almost
                        boiling

                                                            
   Heat oven to 350 degrees.  Sift flour, sugar, cocoa,     
baking soda and salt into a 9x13-inch baking pan. Add       
water, oil, vinegar and vanilla.   Mix with a large rubber  
spatula until smooth, taking care to mix ingredients along  
edges.                                                      
   Bake until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 
about 40 minutes. Cool completely on wire rack.             
   FROSTING: combine butter and shortening in a food        
processor or mixing bowl. Add sugar and vanilla. Mix until  
smooth, about 2 minutes.                                    
   Slowly drizzle in milk. Beat 2 minutes in food processor 
or 7-10 minutes with a mixer, until smooth, satiny and      
fluffy.  Chill just 20 minutes before frosting.
