Chocolate Cake Recipe
The following recipe is for the best chocolate cake I have ever tasted, and I'm a pretty huge fan of chocolate cake. :) My daughter and I like to make this cake, if you make it, drop me a line and let me know how it turned out.
This recipe is from "Old Favorites from New Friends", The Wellesley Newcomer's Club Cookbook, published in 1995, with typography/design/indexing by my friend Ellena M.
Moist Chocolate Cake This is the cake your mom used to make-- the kind you can't find a recipe for anymore, until now!

Preheat oven to 325 F. Grease and flour a 9x13 inch pan. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ingredients in order, one at a time, mixing well at low speed after each addition. (Do not mix fast or too much.) Pour into pan. Bake in a preheated oven for about 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Serve with powdered sugar or whipped cream (or chocolate frosting).
