LOG CABIN CHOCOLATE CAKE
This is a great chocolate cake! Why it's called log cabin, I don't have a clue, other than the fact that it may go back a long time. It's great and that's all that I care about! This is a large cake, so make sure you have the right pan/s for it. I don't really know what size pan to tell you to use. One look at the ingredients will tell you it's going to be huge. I plan to make this in the next week or so, and when I do, I'll come back and post. I hope you enjoy it. I got this recipe from my friend Donna, after having it at her house.

Steps:
- Cabin Base: Fill a piping bag with frosting. Pipe a line of frosting along one side of a churro; lay frosting-side down on a serving platter. Repeat with 3 additional churros to form a square. Repeat with a second layer of churros, stacking them frosting side down on top of base layer. Repeat until walls are 4 churros high. Stick toothpicks vertically through churros at each corner for structural stability.
- Roof: Center a graham cracker across the top of the cabin, using frosting to adhere it to the tops of the cabin walls. Lay a second graham cracker next to it; it will overhang the side of the cabin a bit. Adhere it with frosting. Repeat with a third graham cracker on the other side. Measure and cut 2 pieces of red licorice to the same length as the graham crackers, about 4x 3/4 inches; glue with frosting down the center of the middle graham cracker about 3 inches apart. These will hold up the A-frame roof. To form the A-frame, frost the long sides of 2 graham crackers and lean them together so top long sides meet and bottom long sides are set just inside the licorice lines. Decorate roof with licorice and gumdrops as desired.
- Cabin Door: Break a graham cracker in half widthwise, spread a thin layer of frosting on one side, then decorate with candy canes and holiday sprinkles. Frost backside of door and stick it to the front of the log cabin.
- Windows: Break a graham cracker into quarters. Spread 3 quarters with a thin layer of frosting and decorate as desired. Frost backside of windows and stick them to sides and back of cabin.
- Icicles and Snow: Pipe frosting icicles along roofline, sprinkle coconut around cabin, and sift confectioners' sugar over the top.

Tips:
- To make the cake layers even, use a kitchen scale to measure the ingredients and a leveling tool to level off the batter in the pans.
- For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate or semisweet chocolate instead of milk chocolate.
- If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off to pipe the frosting.
- To make the log cabin cake easier to assemble, chill the cake layers and frosting before assembling.
- If you don't have time to make the frosting from scratch, you can use a store-bought chocolate frosting.
Conclusion:
The log cabin chocolate cake is a delicious and impressive dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is moist and chocolatey, and the frosting is creamy and smooth. The log cabin design is a fun and unique way to decorate the cake, and it is sure to be a hit with your guests.
