Every Christmas my mom naturally would cook big dinners. My cousin loved her oyster dressing and giblet gravy. My brother loved her potato salad. I liked her cakes. There are two that I remember - - a chocolate cake and a regular cake with orange icing.

Somewhere in all her papers I found the recipe to the chocolate cake. The icing was a liquid chocolate mixture than hardens into a sort of fudge type thing. I tasted like fudge but wasn't as thick. It would drip down and harden around the bottom of the plate and be deep enough to run you finger through the icing. I didn't care about the cake so much. I'd eat the icing and make people mad.

The orange cake was just a regular cake but the icing was an orange marmalade stuff. That was one moist cake. It would soak in the cake and man, it was good. I loved this cake but not as much as that chocolate icing!
