My grandma Dismukes passed this recipe on to me. Now I am a grandma and cook for grandkids~ love this cake. Be careful not to scorch the sugar or over boil it. I only boil it to soft ball stage~ where a drop will form a soft ball when placed in a cool glass of water. Please note this was an old "Victorian Recipe", so it has been changed just a little.
