Chocolate Angel Ice Box Cake image

recipe given to me by both my mom and a good friend in the 70's. A family favorite that I share only because it should be known by all! Cook time is the minimum time to refrigerate before serving. We like it most when it's made the day before!! (and since i usually serve this for a special occasion, that makes life easier!!)

EASY CHOCOLATE ICEBOX CAKE



Easy Chocolate Icebox Cake image

People are very impressed when they eat this, because the cookies get soft and meld together with the cream. They think that somehow you made really thin strips of chocolate cake, and they can never figure out how you got them to stand up. Best if you make it the day before.

CONTEST-WINNING CHOCOLATE ANGEL FOOD CAKE



Contest-Winning Chocolate Angel Food Cake image

When I take this different kind of angel food cake to church bake sales, it goes before I can get it on the table! I've always enjoyed cooking, especially baking. My other hobbies are embroidery, counted cross-stitch and taking care of my flowers and garden (I love to can). My husband and I are retired to our farm home; we have three sons, all grown, and four grandchildren.
