My grandmother had 7 children, 3 grandchildren, and 1 Great grandchild. We have ALL had this cake as our birthday cake for as long as I can remember. It’s quick, easy, and somehow- it’s just so comforting. This has been our family cake for at least the last 40-50 years. It’s my absolute favorite. My son turns 1 in April and I can’t WAIT to make this for him.
