SOUR MILK CAKE

     SOURMILK-CAKE - Aunt Georgie's chocolate cake

     Don't cry over sour milk; make a chocolate cake out of it.
     This cake is from the "Farm Journal's Choice Chocolate
     Recipes" cookbook, and was originally posted to net.cooks by
     kathyd@azure.  It is moist and rich and does not need frost-
     ing Mint chocolate ice cream and a slab of this cake makes
     an outrageous dessert.
