Well, the last one on Mom's must do list is the chocolate cake. Going to work on that tonight. Wonder what she left out this time? Notice that she doesn't have a name on the recipe :)

Thanks. It's amazing how many versions there can be. My first attempt is in the oven... Now I have to figure out what she means with the icing recipe....

Looks like she wrote to use the inning while hot, which I think would make it more like a glaze.

BTW, I have two card files full of this sort of thing, one from my mother with a few from my grandmother, and another from my MIL. Also have a 3-ring binder of my mom's recipes. Haven't made too many of them. Old recipes are terse, to say the least, because you're supposed to KNOW how to cook without explicit directions.

But it's fun going through them, and kicking off those memories of when they used to cook/bake. I believe I have my grandmother's as well. Of course, the story goes that she never measured anything :)

I have my grandma Esther's chocolate cake recipe without an icing recipe. If you want it, let me know.
