After my mother passed away, I inherited her little file box of recipes. I am sharing them here for all her descendants and anyone else who might enjoy them. Most of them are quite outdated as we have access to a greater variety of ingredients now, we eat healthier and we have internet to help us! If you do use one of the recipes, I would love to have a comment on what you think of it.

Fudge Cake



2 Squares of Chocolate mixed and melted with a scant cube of butter (see note below)
3 Eggs, 1 C. sugar and ¾ C. flour – beat together and add nuts & vanilla

½ tsp baking powder
Pinch of salt
1 C. chopped nuts

Bake at 375° for about 30 minutes.


Note:

From the internet - Q. When a recipe calls for a scant cup or scant teaspoon, what does that mean?

A. The term "scant" is used occasionally in recipes and cookbooks.
Scant means "just barely." In cooking, scant refers to an amount that's just barely reaching; in other words, not packed.
When a recipe calls for a scant cup or scant teaspoon of something, don't fill the measuring cup or spoon to the top. Instead, use slightly less than the required amount.
If you are still unsure about the correct amount, you might need to test your recipe once or twice before you get the amounts just right.
When testing, be sure to start with small amounts and gradually increase the measurement each time you test the recipe.
