GRANDMA'S CHOCOLATE CAKE
This recipe has been passed down through the family for many generations. It is the only chocolate cake recipe I use anymore. The cake is nice and moist and has such a bold flavor. This cake is great for a German chocolate icing, but I have used all types of icings, which all complement the cake nicely. This cake always pleases the crowd when I make it. Hope you enjoy it as much as my family has for all these years.

My grandmother had 7 children, 3 grandchildren, and 1 Great grandchild. We have ALL had this cake as our birthday cake for as long as I can remember. It's quick, easy, and somehow- it's just so comforting. This has been our family cake for at least the last 40-50 years. It's my absolute favorite. My son turns 1 in April...
