Good Cake Recipe

Here is an old family recipe. When I was growing up, we called it Good Cake. Probably because it tasted good.

It really isn’t on the menu this week, but I’m putting it here so that we can find it, for future reference, for those occasions when we need a Good Cake.

I think the original recipe may have been called “Chocolate Chantilly Torte”, but really, who would make that. Karash family Good Cake. Enjoy!
