Granny's gone and done it again

Blue the recipe is here on the home bakers thread on BYC. It is an 'antique' Pennsylvania Dutch/German recipe passed down from my paternal grandmother to my mother. Mom always said it was the only good thing she ever gave her. I reminded her about dad and she repeated the statement. Always a funny response.

It's listed as Mom's Sour Cream Chocolate Cake.
And yeah, it's rich but decadent. Some people say it reminds them of a mayonnaise cake but I think the sour cream one is better. I make home made butter cream frosting for it and used white frosting yesterday to cut down on the richness but I've called it Mom's Death by Chocolate cake at times when I use chocolate frosting and shave chocolate on top of it. OMG is that good. Set a glass of cold milk beside a slice and keep the jug close by and you can eat until you lapse into a coma.

I will come back to here on Sunday and get caught up. Good night, y'all!

Hi everyone. There is a dang cricket or multiple crickets somewhere. RIGHT outside the door and now the window. I thought it was in the house it’s so dang loud. But NO. So annoying though! LOL

I like crickets and I like when they’re doing the chirping.

My mother made the most moist chocolate cake. She had folks telling her all the time. She didn't even tell me her secret until years later. You won't believe me, but it's true. Mayonnaise.

I put her down. Cried my way through it. I have to remind myself that we are their guardians here on earth and it is our duty to release them when there is no cure nor quality of life.

I loved this little hen to pieces. Fly free Peanut.

So sorry. I remember how hard that was.
