My grandmother Baldwin would make this every week end and when I got old enough to ride my bike, I would ride from one side of San Diego to the other just to eat a piece, MISS YOU GRANDMA.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This is such a lovely example of a perfectly designed chocolate cake! If you haven't tried a mayo cake before, this is a must... It's oh-so moist.
