easy chocolate cake with fudge frosting

This is Grandma Norton's recipe - given to me as part of a bridal shower present (a collection of handwritten recipes in a lovely little wooden recipe box). And, it's from a time when Betty Crocker would have been laughed out of the store for being too pricey and too luxurious. And, it has everything - moist crumb, rich flavor, easy and available ingredients.
