Been making this cake for 50 plus years. Marlboro had a promotion with a Chuckwagon Cookbook free with the purchase of a carton of Marlboro cigarettes. I cleaned up the display at work and took home 8-100 copies. This is a unique recipe because it has no fresh ingredients. I'll bet all my pesos that 50 percent of your readers don't know what a Chuckwagon is. I called it Cowboy Cake. I made it and took it to school. I was a teacher in South Lake Tahoe. I got to school early next morning, the cake into generous size portions, set out paper plates and napkins along with a sign, HEIP YOURSELF, and left. 20 minutes later I returned to the staff room. Empty pan and one teacher was scraping the bottom of the pan with this fingers. I did not tell anyone I had made it until teachers began to beg and plead for someone to confess. With no milk or eggs made it perfect for teachers and students allergic to milk and eggs. Make it, take it to a a party or potluck dinner. There will no leftovers. Again, 50 percent of younger cooks will not know what a potluck supper is.
