We always called this Mama's "never fail" recipe. I guess the same holds true for me, since I've entered this cake in contests and won with it. This tasty dessert is popular in our family, and it always brings back fond memories of Mama.

My cousin gave me the best advice: use real butter and poke holes into the top of the cake before applying the icing. I took it a step further and used vanilla infused turbinado sugar in the cake. Delicious!!!

Really love this cake. There is another on the site with more ratings, but i compared them and they are virtually identical apart from being for different sized pans.

I love this simple, old-fashioned cake. My family does too. So much, in fact, that if I know there's going to be more than just my husband and me at a meal, I double the recipe and make two cakes. If not needed immediately, the cake freezes well.
