This is my mom's favorite cake. She made herself for her birthday every year until I was old enough to learn. From 13 years old I've been making this cake for my mom. I love the smile it brings to her face. Recently she's allowed me to make it for church gatherings. They love it!. I'm so happy to get to share our family gems with you all.
