Recipe from Patricia Polacco's website (with several variations):
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
Cream together one at a time:
1 cup shortening
1 3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 eggs (you do not need to separate the eggs)
1 cup cold water
1/3 cup pureed tomatoes
Sift together:
21/2 cups cake flour
1/2 cup dry cocoa
11/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
Mix dry mixture into creamy mixture.
Bake in two greased and floured 8 1/2 inch pans at 350 degree for
35 to 40 minutes. (We made two dozen cupcakes and baked for 20-25 minutes.)
Frost with chocolate butter frosting. Top with
strawberries.
