This is an old recipe I found at a yard sale. It was hand written on a piece of paper that was brown and tattered with age and was bearly legible. The lady who wrote this recipe was 95 years old. I was so excited about finding it that I had to come home and immediately try it. This cake is simply delicious. I hope that everyone reading this tries this cake and leave me comments on what you think.
