Great Grandma H's Red Devil's Food Cake

I'm not sure what the difference is between this and red velvet, but my Dad swears this is the best cake in the world. I'm not quite sure how this cake is red either, since there is no food coloring, lol. I'm thinking the sweet milk is sweetened condensed milk, but I'm not 100% sure.

1/2 C shortening
1/2 C sugar
1/2 C cocoa
2 eggs
1/2 C sweet milk
2 tsp baking soda
2 C flour
1 tsp vanilla
1 C boiling water


Cream shortening -- add sugar and cocoa and eggs and beat well. Add milk in which soda has been dissolved, alternatively with flour. Last add boiling water and vanilla. Bake at 325 for about 35 to 45 min.
