Wow! What a cake! This cake reminds me of the cake my Mother used to make. I followed the instructions exactly. I had to cook it about 5 minutes longer. The frosting came out perfect. I ran it under the broiler for a few minutes until it started to bubble. What a
OHHH so good! The cake was even better on the second day, so we finished it! I halved the recipe and baked it in a bundt pan at 325 for 45 minutes. It made a nice small bundt cake for my DH and I to snack on for two days. The cake is very moist and become even more so overnight. The icing is one of my favorites, but that cake would be good without it as well.
