This is a nice tender cake – one of my Mom’s specialties from years ago. It is a great cake to take along to a picnic.

This is an incredible cake - the name says it all! I made it in two sandwich tins and reduced the cooking time to 30 minutes and it came out perfectly. I iced it with buttercream for an anniversary cake and my husband was a very happy man. I'll definitely be making this one again :0)
Great cake! The only thing I did differently was use almond extract because I was out of vanilla extract. Very moist and yummy cake!
