Chocolate Sheath Cake
"Chocolate Sheath Cake"
I never did figure out if this was Sheath or Sheet (that makes more sense since you bake it in a long, sheet pan; however, when the recipe was given to me, this was its name) but anyway, it's a GOOD cake. I got this recipe at my wedding shower in 1968 from Rita Kelsey, a friend. Karen Zach
