My co-worker, Tracie De Stefano, tells me she got this recipe from her ex-mother-in-law. She said the cake was so good that she asked for the recipe after the divorce! This is the kind of cake you want to refresh you on a muggy August afternoon in the shade of the verandah. Photo by: rebekahsfamilyfoodandfun.blogspot.com
