GRANDMOTHERS BEST EVER CHOCOLATE CAKE
This was one my English Grandmother made and had in her box hand written around 1919. This is seriously the best chocolate cake ever. I don't know where she got it from.. Maybe Hershey? The secret is the boiling water . It tempers the cocoa ...making chocolate and makes it so moist and kinda fudgey. I get requests for this one. My manboy could eat in 1 day if I would have let him.

GRANDMA'S CHOCOLATE CAKE
This recipe is from my Grandma, who go it from her mother. I don't know the history before that. Everyone just loves this cake, and when I asked Grandma about it, she said she didn't think it was anything special, just made with ingredients they were likely to have on the farm. Note: to make sour milk, add 1T vinegar or lemon juice to sweet milk. I make this as a very tall 9 x 13, 3 small layers or a whole bunch of cupcakes.
