Personal Notes:
This recipe was originally published in the April 1950 issue of Woman's Day Magazine as "Devil's Food Whirligig Cake." The following text was omitted from the recipe above, but refers to decorating the cake once it is frosted: "Trace top design with toothpick. Melt one square chocolate with one tablespoon Crisco; then follow tracing, letting chocolate run off tip of spoon."
