EGYPTIAN CHOCOLATE CAKE
Found this recipe on Grassroots Recipes Mastercook Collections by Deirdre Dee Cox. It states that the original recipe came from a GI who found it in Egypt when he was stationed there. The whipped cream frosting was added later but really adds to the recipe. Posted for ZWT6.

- Cool in pans on racks for 10 minutes.
- Remove from pans, cool completely on racks.
- Chill large mixing bowl and beaters.
- Combine cream, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon and beat with an electric mixer set at high speed until soft peaks form and mixture is thick enough to spread.
