When I was a kid, this was the cake that my Mom made for every potluck in my Dad's office. I remember seeing this glistening can on the cut crystal plate when Dad would go off to work and I wished that there were leftovers for me. As an adult, I make this cake for special occasions. My husband and I had a two day wedding celebration and this is the cake I gave to the restaurant to serve for dessert after the first dinner.
