This recipe was passed down from my Aunt, it was my Grandma’s recipe and a family favorite! This warm cake filled the air at many a family gathering and holiday meals, and just feels like home. It is also great with a powdered sugar and vanilla glaze drizzled over the top of it.

Notes
3 tbsp. cocoa may be added or 1 pkg. coconut and 1 cup pecans for extra flavor or even as toppings if used decrease ½ cup of sugar. The combinations of toppings and flavorings are limitless with this cake. Top with a powder sugar glaze and strawberries for a shortcake feel and serve with whipped topping < Totally my favorite way to eat it!
