Another of those great old timey recipes our Grandparents made during hard times when ingredients were scarce and money scarcer still. Funnty how delicious they were regardless of what was missing in the ingredient dept. Read more . They were expert in making do and turning out wonderful creations that have survived (barely) found in old recipe boxes written on backs of calender leafs or torn brown paper bags. One of my most prized posessions is one such recipe written on a calendar page. My sister who found a box of such recipes had them framed individually and gave us all one for xmas one year. A recipe for chocolate cake written in my Grandmothers own hand. Having passed many years ago I see and remember her every day when I walk by the framed picture.Hope you enjoy this one. See less
