Cake: Preheat oven to 350º F. Grease a 9" round cake pan with Crisco. Sift flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt together. Cream Crisco and sugar until blended. Add eggs, one at a time, beating on medium speed of electric mixer until light and creamy. Add dry ingredients alternately with buttermilk and vanilla to creamed mixture, mixing lightly after each addition. Spread evenly in greased pan.
