Elaine Bardes (North Carolina) says:

This is a recipe that has been prepared in my family since the early 1960s at least and is my go to favorite chocolate cake.

Stephanie (California) says:

This recipe has been a family favorite forever. The chocolate frosting we use with it:

1 cup sugar
1 cup water
4 tbsp. all-purpose flour
2 (1 oz. ea.) squares unsweetened chocolate

Combine sugar and flour in a saucepan. Add water and chocolate. Cook over medium heat stirring constantly, until thick. Leave cake in pan and spread warm icing on cake. The icing never gets real thick.

This recipe has been in my family since the 1960's as well. My Mom clipped it out of the local newspaper. We had that original clipping for decades. The recipe for the icing was there too. The review from Stephanie is the correct one. I will be making this tomorrow for my birthday.
