Weird weather, rained twice and looks like it will again before tonite. Just ucky overcast, what you'd expect from New Orleans during carnival season. LOL
So I made a gumbo, Thought about making something for desert and I thought about Momma's chocolate cake. I know its a cookie sheet cake, But she was known far and wide for it. You could feed a gathering and its so dang easy. Everytime I see that movie the "Flying Leathernecks", when the old line sarg steals the Marines cake this comes to mind. But That is another story.
Its really easy, it will feed more than a pork butt, and it perfect for the picnic table. Did I mention is chocolate and delicious?
