Preacher Cake<\/a><\/h2>\n
“My dad loved to make this cake for company, potlucks, and just general eating. He always said it was easy to remember because it took 2 of everything. Most of the time, my parents served this without the rich frosting as that made it deadly – just kidding, but it is certainly rich enough without it.” – Susan J<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
