This is in response to the request for 20's/30's recipes: You know how old
recipes are... Here are the ingredients, and you mix them together like you
do when you make a cake (real helpful, eh?).

Don't substitute anything I find that in older recipes IT JUST DOESN'T
WORK!!

Cream butter and sugar REALLY well. My mom always told me that that was
critical in cake making). Beat in chocolate and eggs. Alternately add
flour/baking powder and milk/vanilla. Then bake as you would a cake.

Icing: Cream butter, and melted chocolate, then sugar, then beaten egg,
flavoring, and nuts.
