Jane's Chocolate Cake Recipe

I eat cake because it’s somebody’s birthday somewhere.”

This is one of the sweet things I remember my mom baking for almost every birthday or event. I think she originally got the recipe from Meryl…but that was really long ago. For some reason I can’t seem to get it to taste exactly as yummy or as moist as what I remember it to be when she made it.

But here is the original recipe, and as you can see it has been used numerous times. (I’m glad I asked my mom for the recipe before the paper disintegrated!) It looks like the paper was purposefully made to look old…like when you were small and tried to make a treasure map look old by dipping it in coffee and water and burning the edges.
