This recipe came from my mother-in-law, I have no idea where she obtained the recipe. My entire family loves this cake and I only make it at Christmas so before Thanksgiving everyone starts asking me if I am making it this year.

Bake in a well greased bunt pan or in loaf pans (bake time is shorter in loaf pans)
