This recipe came from an older family member. The story goes that she had been to NYC, to the Waldorf Astoria Hotel and had eaten this cake. When she got home, she wrote and asked for the recipe. They sent it to her, along with a bill. (Sounds suspiciously like many other stories about famous recipes, doesn't it?) Anyway, this cake is very dense and rich, almost more like a brownie in cake form!
