I love everything about this cake. It is so easy and so good. The best part is, it goes into a cold oven, set the timer for 55 minutes and, it comes out perfectly.

This is exactly like the recipe I have made for years from the one of my Sunset Magazine's Favorite's Book. It is a winner and my kids request it every Christmas.
