10-inch Dutch oven
14 briquettes on the lid
6 briquettes on the bottom

1 1/2 cups sugar
¾ cup shortening
1 1/2 cups milk

Note: This recipe has been handed down through my family since the early 1800's. Absolutely delicious for strawberry shortcake or frosted. Recipe can also be used for chocolate cake. Instead of 2 cups of flour use 1 3/4 cup of flour and 1/4 cup cocoa.
