Chocolate Friday: Cocoa Apple Cake

RecipesChocolate!Criminy, I almost missed Chocolate Friday.  Again.  I've been so busy with work and trying to get ready for Thanksgiving, I haven't had much time to think.  Here's a recipe I'm going to try this next week for my guests.  A friend brought this cake to a party many years ago, and after I nagged her for months, she finally shared the recipe with me.  I don't have pics yet, will add after T-Day.

This cocoa, apple cake, sounds interesting. I will copy the recipe and make it sometime.

So glad I found this recipie! My Nana used to make this cake for many special occasions, I watched and helped her bake this one many times. Some times she'd get on a roll with other cake, but I always would request this one. She followed the recipe off the c&h sugar package. Since she passed away 3 years ago, just before her 100th birthday, no one seemd to have the recipie. I can't wait to bake this cake, it just reminds me of my Nana

I love this cake and since moving, I haven't been able to find my cookbooks or recipe boxes yet. It is great to have it again. Hint- take your piece, place it on a dish and microwave it for about 15 seconds. It will be warm, moist, and the chips melt-awesome. So- it is great to freeze, also.
