Log Cabin Chocolate Cake
"This is a great chocolate cake! Why it's called log cabin, I don't have a clue, other than the fact that it may go back a long time. It's great and that's all that I care about! This is a large cake, so make sure you have the right pan/s for it. I don't really know what size pan to tell you to use. One look at the ingredients will tell you it's going to be huge. I plan to make this in the next week or so, and when I do, I'll come back and post. I hope you enjoy it.
I got this recipe from my friend Donna, after having it at her house."

This recipe is the exact same one my grandmother and mom used to make. It's meant to be a loaf cake and the recipe posted makes 2 loaf cakes using a 5x7 loaf pan cooking for 40-45 minutes. I love it with a sprinkle of powdered sugar on top and a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side.... yummy in the tummy!!! -

In answer this is a very old cake recipe...I found it many years ago in an old workbasket crochet book that was dated in the 1930's.I had used it for many years.It is a very moist and delicious cake.I had misplaced my copy and am happy to have found it online.

I would like to welcome you to my recipes. I have been with Food.com since 10/05.
My beloved husband, Tom, passed away 3 years ago. My world stopped. It's taken me all this time to find my way back to life without him.
I have been so blessed to have found my second, once in a lifetime. I've met an amazing man who is so good to me.
We moved from Las Vegas, Nevada to Bullhead City, Az. in February, and we love it here.
I have worked at Bally's and Paris hotel.casinos, in Las Vegas. I have seen some very famous entertainers, including Liza Minnelli, Penn and Teller, Ray Liotta, Dr. J (Julius Erving), Frank Sinatra and his wife Barbara Marx. and many, many more.
Cooking is my passion, and I am slowly, but surely beginning to venture into the world of baking. To me, cooking is so much easier because baking is so much more exact.
I love to make Italian and Mexican food the best, followed by Chinese and last, but by far the least, good old American food! How can you beat chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes and gravy?? I love to find several recipes and put my own spin on them and create a new recipe.
