I made this cake back in 2002 and my grandkids love it, I moved back to Minesota and left the recipe in Calafornia, after all these years my grandson said granny make the Christmas cake, I said I have to find the recipe my dad couldn't find it amongest my things so thank goodness for internet, it will be made this Christmas
This was an amazing recipe for a fun family treat!We had the most fun "wrapping" it up. It was the best cake. I might just make it next year!
It does say "refer to cutting directions below"
Should it say something about cutting one of the two cakes? You only bake 2 but it is 3 layers.
