"This recipe; from what I'm told was handed down to my Grandmom from her Grandmom. Its a no fail (as far as taste goes) desert cake. It is a staple in our Christmas desert table and is perfect with a cup of coffee. Its easy to make and I've never meet a person who didn't like it."

The recipe was easy to follow, though I was a little concerned when the batter was so thick. This cake got rave reviews in my ER, where I test all of my new recipes on willing guinea pigs! Everyone who ate it said the same thing, "It's sooo moist!" Will most definately be making this again.
