There can never be too many recipes for chocolate cake, in my opinion. Here’s a nice recipe for chocolate cake from Ethel Ogden. I assume this was a friend from church.
Chocolate Cake (Ethel Ogden)
1 tbsp butter – generous
1 cup sugar
Cream
1 egg, beat in whole
2 tbsp cocoa –>
pinch salt –> Sift together
1 3/4 c flour –>
3/4 cup sour milk
1 tsp soda dissolved in 1/4 c boiling water
vanilla
Bake 45 min in 350 oven
Actually Mrs. Ogden (see how formal we were as kids) was a very good friend – yes from church, and I think they went to Oberlin too. Ed and their son Hugh were great friends too.
