From the 1948 Sunbeam Mixmaster booklet:

Preparation:

Have shortening at room temperature. Assemble all ingredients and utensils needed. Grease a deep 8-inch square cake pan or two 8-inch layer cake pans. Sprinkle with flour, shaking out excess. Sift flour once before measuring. Preheat oven to baking temperature.

Mix together:

1/2 cup cocoa
1 cup hot water, or hot coffee

Stir until well blended.

Sift together:

1 1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon soda
1/4 teaspoon double acting or (1/2 teaspoon fast-acting) baking powder

Put into large bowl of Mixmaster:

1/2 cup shortening (soft)
1 1/4 cups sugar
2 eggs, unbeaten
1 teaspoon vanilla

Beat on No. 8 speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl while beating. Turn to No. 1 speed. Add cocoa mixture alternately with sifted flour mixture. Scrape bowl while beating. Beat only enough to blend well-about three minutes. Pour batter into prepared pan.

Bake:

350F-moderate oven-35 to 45 minutes. Cool. Ice with Double Boiler Icing on Page 14. Sprinkle thickly with fresh coconut.
