From a scrape of paper in an old cookbook I've had since the early 1960's. This used to be a cake that was made for very special occasions.
1/2 cup shortening
1-1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 oz. red food color
2-1/2 cup sifted cake flour
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. cocoa
1 cup buttermilk
1 T. vinegar
1 tsp.baking soda
Cream shortening and sugar. Add eggs whole and beat until fluffy, add food color and beat until well blended. Sift flour, salt and cocoa together, add alternately with buttermilk. Beat well after each addition. Add vanilla, mix and stir in last, the vinegar and baking soda. Just stir in, do not beat after this addition. Bake in 350 oven for 30 minutes in 2, 9" layer pans.
Reminds me of a red velvet cake!

Entenmann's Chocolate Chip Cookies
I found this recipe in my "stash", typed (on a real typewriter) on Entenmann's stationery when the main bakery was located at 1724 Fifth Avenue, Bay Shore, Long Island, New York. Under the title of Chocolate Chip Cookies is "(TV Formula)"
Enjoy! They are delicious. Wish I had a picture to share but I haven't made them in years.
1-1/3 cups pre-sifted all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup corn oil margarine
1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
3 tablespoons honey
1 egg
1-1/4 cups (7-1/2 oz) chocolate chips, semi-sweet
1/4 cup granulated sugar
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a small bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. Combine margarine, sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, and honey. Beat until creamy. Beat in egg. Add flour mixture. Mix together. Stir in chocolate chips. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls on to ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 6-7 minutes. Makes about 50-55 cookies.
Baking the cookies is very important. For a moist, soft cookie, do not over bake. The time indicated above is adequate bake time in the oven because cookies continue to bake on the hot cookie sheet even though removed from the oven. Although the cookies may appear raw at 6-7 minutes, they will be done by the time they are cooled on the pan outside of the oven.
