Recipe - Black Devils Food Cake

1 cup Cocoa
2 cup Strong; hot coffee
3 cup Flour
2 teaspoon Baking soda
One half teaspoon Baking powder
1 pn Salt
4 Eggs
1 cup Margarine; softened
2 One fourth cup Sugar
2 teaspoon Vanilla extract
One half teaspoon Almond extract
6 Marachino cherries; minced ,
(optional I've never used
them) (up to 8)

Preheat oven to 325 F. Grease a 9x13inch cake pan. Mix cocoa and coffee
together in a small bowl until there are no lumps. In a separate bowl
combine dry ingredients. Beat together eggs, margarine, sugar, and vanilla
and almond extracts in a large mixer bowl. Add flour mixture alternately
with the cocoacoffee mixture, beginning and ending with dry ingredients
(fold in cherries). Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 45 minutes
to an hour, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean (start
checking at 45 minutes with my oven, it's usually almost done by then
it's not as good if it dries out).
