I have possesion of my Grandmothers recipe box. The box itself may have
been her mother's box. Grandma was born in 1900 which could clue to the age
of the box if it belonged to her mother as my Uncle told me. Everyone in my
family is dead who would know.

There is one recipe in the cake section which is very old and the top with
the title is gone, to me this is a chocolate cake frosting recipe but the
raw egg is throwing me off.

As it was written,

"1 cup sugar, 1/2 scant cup of butter or shortening, 1 egg, 1 pinch of
salt, 3/4 cup of soured milk, 1 extra large cup of flour, 1 teaspoonful
of soda, 4 heaping teaspoonfuls of cocoa with enough hot water to make a
smooth paste".
