My Momma found this recipe years ago and once we tried it, we were hooked. My copy of the recipe has so many spots on it, from splatter of the mixer. My husband loves this cake but I can tell you for sure, YOU will need to make a double or triple recipe for the glaze, everyone wants extra! I buy the smallest size Apple Cider I can find. Once I use the 1-cup of cider, I split the rest into 1-cup amounts and pour them in freezer bags to freeze.
