This impressive cake is my dad’s favorite, so I always make it for his birthday. It also makes a great Easter dessert and is lovely with a summer meal. —Nancy Zimmerman, Cape May Court House, New Jersey

Love the cake recipe. Very moist and a great texture. We are not fans of icing made from shortening, so I made it with a cream cheese frosting with pineapple juice added to it.

This cake was actually not very hard to make. (Although there is a lot of steps and is time consuming) Everyone at my party loved the cake. It is almost like a banana bread. I added bananas at last minute (so they didn't brown) to the top as a decoration. My only advice would be after you ice the cake make sure you keep it covered very well or the icing will dry out a bit. I think with or without the nuts would be great or substituting them for another kind.

We found by putting this in the refrigrator over night just really sets it up.We just love this cake and my husband makes it all the time. He just loves to bake. We first heard of this from his boss and his mother made it for years. Just a Good OLE' Southern Cake.

I use pecans rather than walnuts and use a cream cheese frosting. This is super popular in the South.
