Hershey's Easy Does It Recipe #1



I have been going through old recipes lately. It is a goal of mine to gather together and organize family recipes, other recipes. It may take longer than once thought.   
Lately I have found several old Hershey's Recipes that are tried and true.
The following is one of them. Sorry for the dirty shape of the old recipe card, but it is a true representation of a good recipe....once again a chocolate cake.....

2 eggs
1 cup milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
