Notes: This recipe can be made in a large rectangular pan & iced in the pan. Good for picnic. However, the full chocolate experience is best in the 2 layer cake format.
This recipe was given to my mother over 50 years ago by an old Pennsylvania Dutch woman who lived out in the country close to Allentown, PA. You pronounce her name as WIDE-A. There is no telling how old this recipe really is.
