Made for PAC Fall 2007. Very good cake recipe. Loaded with flavor. I made it in a 9 x 13 pan. The cream cheese frosting was a good compliment to this cake. I took it over to my son's house and everyone really enjoyed it. Thanks for another good recipe, MK Lady.

Born & raised in Indiana, I love to cook and enjoy the food grown on local farms. Our city has a large farmers market and a great reward for a good week of work is a Saturday morning there.
I'm married and the mother of a beautiful teenage daughter. My time in the kitchen is my reward for consistent work in my home-based business. I teach skin care for world-wide cosmetic company. (Yes, I do drive one of those free cars!) I'm passionate about helping women build better lives through a home-based business. To me, any financially secure woman is a happy woman!
