My grandmother from South Alabama made the chocolate layer cake for years. As long as I can remember, which would be sixty-three years and I know she made it long before that too. My Aunt from South Alabama made it for every family reunion.

Ivy; you just made me LOL. In the multi-layer vanilla cake and chocolate icing segment, you mentioned something I've never heard before but I understand. The "Gnat Line"; south Georgia is crazy with those little buggers. Many, many years ago, my family passed through and tried to settle and that part of the state near Valdosta. We would visit on our way south to vacation in Florida. We hated it because of all the gnats.

I went into Subway today to get a healthy sandwich. The older lady behind the counter helped me and started preparing my sandwich for me. She out of nowhere fell to the ground and started convulsing and shaking. the other teenage girl there just stepped over her and finished up my sandwich as the lady lay on the ground shaking. The two teenage girls that work there just laughed it off and said "Oh, she does this all the time." I peeked over the counter to see the lady foaming at her mouth. I then paid for my sandwich and left the establisment.
