Make yerself a chocolate cake.

This is a recipe circa 1976 (!) from my mom's friend Patty. I think it's the first cake I ever made. In fact, I made myself (I might share...) one tonight and it's super fast, easy, delish and preservative free. If you don't think of yourself as much of a baker give this recipe a try!
