Perfection! A Lost Recipe Found! My Dear Nana Made These From "Scratch" & No One Could Locate The Original Recipe. She Made Them & Glazed w/Bitter~Sweet Chocolate Glaze. Tea Time Treats Not Very Often,Tho' Enough The Memory IS STILL w/Me.The Cake is Moist & Perfect For The Additional Slight Tang Of Chocolate Glaze. Not Too Sweet. A Lovely Tender Crumb & Delicious Glaze. Have A Hot Pot Of Tea & Enjoy w/A Dear Group of Friends.{Nana Had To Leave Seeded Fruits Out Due To An Illness.I Enjoy Raspberries & WILL Happily Oblige.}

I doubled the recipe for the cakes and glaze. I decorated each cake for easter with speckled eggs coconut and peeps.

The cakes are the best not-out-of-a-box-mix cake that I have ever made. Very delicious and moist! The glaze was hard to work with probably due to doubling it. I did not need to double the recipe for twice as many cakes. I also made it too thin so I would not add all of the liquids to the chocolate. Next time I will make the chocolate sauce differently or use a different recipe. However I can't wait to repeat this recipe.

I've tried this recipe twice now and the first time they came out great, the second...not so great. I think it has a lot to do with beating the eggs correctly, having the eggs at the right temp, and having the butter at the right temp. I didn't do all that the second time. Follow the directions to a "T," it makes a difference. I do love the icing!
