Frost cake Recipe
Sender: The Prize winning chocolate cake Mother entered in
a contest when I was in grade school and won an electric mixer for 1st prize over the whole state of Colorado." The filling is like the German Chocolate Cake now without the coconut. My mother was born in 1915 so I imagine she entered the contest in the 1930's.
