Grandma Dudas Chocolate Cake Recipe Recipe
This chocolate cake recipe is from my Grandma who would bake this whenever we would come visit. My mom copied this recipe from a neighbor's cookbook back in 1940.

Sound like a very moist cake. Bet it would be good with a chocolate fudge frosting also. Great post.


I love that this uses real chocolate instead of cocoa. I'll try it someday.

I remember how my grandma would even out the cake if it was setting crooked....she would use pumpernickel bread between the layers to make the cake 'sit-up' in case it fell!! LOL!! I wondered why my piece of cake tasted a little different.... Jett
