Another one of Grammy's recipes from her MOMS (Mothers of Methodists) cookbook, that she helped write in 1948. I used to request this for my birthday cake every year. It's firm and moist, a little tangy, chocolatey but not too sweet. Read more . Frost it with very-slightly-sweetened chocolate whipped cream & prepare to swoon!
