"This is a cake recipe from the late Mietta O'Donnell. Mietta was a Melbourne-based Australian with Italian background restaurateur, chef and food writer. Her chocolate cake and recipes as still so well known here in Victoria, Australia. I made it many years ago, and lost the recipe ~ Only to here it being broadcast again on radio just a few months back, so am posting it here for all to enjoy. Ice this cake with your favourite icing."
