This delicious cake recipe has been around a very long time. It was the rage in the 40's! during WORLD WAR 2 era. Why is it called a "CHOP SUEY" cake ?? I can not find an answer, but I believe it is because it looks a little like...CHOP SUEY! You may have to use your immagation a little. O.K.,so stretch it a bit! LOL I remember the great taste, can you ??? NOTE: When you serve this cake, PlEASE SAY a PRAYER, and THANK ALL OF OUR GREAT VETERANS! WITH OUT THEM ..WE MAY NOT BE HERE TODAY..TO ENJOY THIS CAKE Nancy...11/24/12

    This cake was a real treat... when we had it... and not to often... as butter and sugar was rationed during the war years! Actually back in the 40's we never had it with frosting!!!! It was still delicious!!!
