ISO: Chocolate Cake from Arm & Hammer

Misc.
Family history says that Granny's chocolate cake and chocolate frosting recipes were from the Arm & Hammer soda company. I have a few particulars and a handed-down recipe, but four attempts at the recipe have yet to produce a nice cake.
The recipes either came from an A&H recipe booklet or an A&H box.
mix 1 cup buttermilk + 1 cup sugar, let stand until sugar is dissolved
It is NOT the recipe from Good things to Eat, 1939 (btw, this tastes like chocolate quick bread, not chocolate cake.
With in one, or between the two recipes, both cocoa powder and squares of chocolate were used.
Recipes are from the 1930s or 1940s.
9 x 13 pan
Frosting was cooked to the soft-ball stage. I believe the fudge frosting recipe on this site may be the correct one.
I think this website is so cool. Thanks to all who help.
