Poster's Notes:
I was asked to fix Thanksgiving types of desserts for 60 members of the Friendship Force and our guests from Recife, Brazil.
Since they will be here in November, the farewell dinner will be a Thanksgiving theme.
I made up the following recipe by adapting several that I found. My DH said it is the best chocolate cake he ever tasted! He would never believe that yams are the reason!
