Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This is Aunt Mildred’s recipe but I usually make it a little bit differently. I add about 1/4 cup oil extra to make the cake more moist and use rounded soup spoons of cocoa instead of tablespoons. I do not pre-sift the flour, and I leave out the salt. I also use a rounded teaspoon of cinnamon. Finally, I use a 2-qt. baking dish instead of a 9x13 pan and change the temp to 325º F.
