I decided to bake a from scratch cake for God's Gathering Dinner tonight. I went through some old recipes and found this quick and delicious one. I mixed it up in just a few minutes because I keep the dried buttermilk in my refrigerator so it's ready to go any time I am in the mood to bake. This is a lot like the Scotch Chocolate Cake from Grandma Schroeder. I'm thinking this is one I'll make again. The ladies in the kitchen set aside pieces to take home, so I took that as a compliment. Since there were no left overs, I can't mail you any of this cake, but you can make it yourself if you want. Or...for a fee, I'll ship myself to you and bake it fresh from your oven!
