Some of my fondest memories are of my mom baking this cake usually on a Saturday morning. I now enjoy baking it and sharing it with my family. Hope you enjoy it too.

After I made this and let it cool,I tasted a piece and thought there wasn't much of a flavor to it.But as Chef Marg,had said it tasted better the next day,and it does :).So, if you are going to make this cake,make it the day before you want to serve it.The flavors seem to blend better when it sits overnight.Thank you for posting.Reply
