I've loved this cake for many year's but I'm unable to find it in any of the grocery stores like I was able to years ago. I was ecstatic when I came across this recipe. Just finished baking and can't wait till it cools down so it can be iced and tasted. Thank you for the recipe, I'm sure it's as tasty as it looks!
