Make a paste with the water and cocoa and set aside. Cream sugar and shortening. Add eggs and mix. Add soda, salt and vanilla and mix.

Pour half the batter in each pan and bake at 350º for 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cakes rest in pans for 10 minutes and run a knife around the perimeter to loosen cakes from the pan. Continue to cool for 1 hour before turning onto cake plate and frosting.
