This is my recipe which I posted a few years ago on another site. So I appreciate the fact that it has been posted here. This is a moist, delectable cake that is full of flavor. I have made this cake countless times, once as cupcakes. Mrs. Applegate is no longer living but would be thrilled to know that this recipe will be collected and used by so many thousands of people. Enjoy!
