Wonderfully simple, old-fashioned recipe for a very moist and delicious cake. This was my grandmother's recipe, and four generations have enjoyed it over the years.

DIRECTIONS

Combine the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
Add all the remaining ingredients and mix well.
Pour the batter into a greased and floured 13x9 pan and bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes.
While the cake is baking, combine all the glaze ingredients in a small saucepan and cook slowly over medium heat until thickened slightly.
When the cake is done, remove it from the oven; prick holes over the surface of the hot cake with a fork, and pour the glaze over the top.
Cover and allow to cool slightly before serving (this allows the glaze to soak down into the cake).
