Grandma Campbell's Jelly Cake

Submitted by Gayle M

"This recipe is luscious and gooey. Besides that its simple, inexpensive, and gets better with age. Grandma Campbell made it for the grandkids, and couldn't remember how long it had been in the family."

This recipe didn't work for me. The cake was very, very dense. However, because it wasn't too sweet, it was a good breakfast addition with coffee.
