As a pastor's wife and state auxiliary leader, I host many large gatherings. Whenever I make this "punch bowl cake", it makes a big impression, I return with an empty bowl every time!" -Deborah Randall Abbeville, Louisiana

I've made this a few times and it's excellent. I usually make only half or in two separate bowls.

I had a hard time finding a punch bowl with the bottom even half as large for the cake. Decided to cut recipe in half and baked the cake in a 13x9 inch cake pan. Eyeballed the portion for layering and it fit perfectly. Got rave reviews for a summer BBQ. Personally I would make this in the fall. It's taste reminds me cool crisp days, not hot July. It was very good though and I would definitely make this again. Super easy!

This is one of my most asked for desserts. I made it for a Thanksgiving get-together and everyone raved about it. Everyone demanded the recipe. Even the youngest kids asked for a second helping.
