Thanks for the memories! My Aunt from Brooklyn brought Ebinger's Blackout Cake to many Sunday dinner gatherings to my Mom's house on Long Island. The arrival of that big white box simply tied with a thin white and red string was so exciting to us all. So many years ago...but I still remember that cake was absolutely the best dessert ever. The crumbs were almost dust-like and the cake was melt in your mouth. Then the filling was so purely chocolatey (a word?) that even after we ate our huge Italian dinner we still devoured every single slice of that cake. I'll bet the cake cost less than $5 at that time! Too bad Ebinger's is no longer in business. PJ...I look forward to baking your version and revisiting those memories. Thanks again for a great recipe.
