This is one of the best cakes I've ever made. It is a hit where ever and whenever I serve it. The first time I made it, it was so good it was goggled up in one setting by seven of us. I had to make another cake the next day and that only lasted for two days. <br/><br/>It's now a must for me to bring to any family gathering. I do use butter instead of the margarine. Found the reciepe in the Paula Deen Cooking magazine. <br/><br/>This is a good one...enjoy!!

I love to cook, bake, stir-fry, grill and I'm always looking for new recipes. I'm a Registered Nurse. I love to read both fiction and non-fiction novels. In fact, I've found some great meal ideas in novels, just from what the characters were eating or fixing. :)
One of my favorite dishes to make is Grilled Salmon Salad. It's pretty, it's easy and it's delicious!
My pet peeve is: People who steal recipes from one site and put them on another site as if they were their own!
Thanks for this site...it's fun trying out new dishes. cherylann, chef#318870
