Chocolate Sheath Cake image

A very rich moist cake that leaves you asking for more. It sounds like a lot of ingredients and a lot of trouble but it is very very easy to make. Requested at a lot of large get-togethers and birthdays. This is a very old recipe given to me by my mother some 40 years ago.
