I made this cake for the fourth of July. My family loved it, I was absolutely infatuated with the taste. It's really refreshingly light for a cake. I made the cake on the fourth but, it had not jelled until the next morning when I put the cool whip on it. After that was done, the cake was gone by noon.

This is a very good cake. I took it to a July 4th family get together. Everyone just raved over it. It was so simple to make. Thanks Kit for another great recipe.
