Grandmas Chocolate Cake

This is a chocolate cake I remember from my childhood, our neighbor used to make it and she would give me a piece of it with a big tall glass of milk. I found the recipe in my old recipe file and ran into the kitchen to make it right away.

This is I’m sure the “box cake” of my grandmother’s day. It is so good, moist with a wonderful texture and the frosting is divine, love the chocolate with the walnuts. Her recipe called for a teaspoon of cinnamon but I omitted that. Add it if you desire.

Be sure to note the temperature of the oven change if you are baking in a glass pan. It almost always should be 25 degrees less that the stated temperature time. I always turn my oven down when baking in glass dishes no matter what it is. It is something my mom taught me and I never questioned why, I just do it.
