Trying out an old cake recipe from my mom's notes

I've seen more folks posting photos of recipe cards with faded ink. It made me pull out my mom's chocolate cake recipe she wrote down years ago. Last Sunday I baked it for the first time since I was a kid. The cake turned out moist and rich, just like I remembered. Sharing it with my neighbor felt like passing on a little piece of home.

My buddy tried his grandma's recipe last month. His sunk in the middle too, @umaf20, but he said it was still the best tasting one he ever had. Some old recipes just do that.
