mama's famous chocolate fudge cake
This recipe was given to my mom by a neighbor, Maxine Welch, (no relation) in 1966 when we lived in Pasadena, TX. The neighborhood mothers and children would get together and go to the park occasionally for a picnic. The cake was still hot when served and made quite an unforgettable impression. We've been making it ever since.
