1. Stage

Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, cream the butter, shortening and sugar until light and fluffy, five to seven minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine the flour, baking powder and cocoa. Combine the milk and vanilla. Add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, alternating with the milk mixture. Mix everything well.

Pour the batter into a greased 10-inch tube pan. Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 70 to 80 minutes. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes before removing it to a wire rack to cool completely. If desired, sprinkle the cake with confectioners' sugar.
