OLD CHOP SUEY CAKE. a Church Lady's Recipe image

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...

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
