My aunt, who was born in the 1920s, passed this recipe down to me. She made the cake from scratch from start to finish because she didn't have modern amenities to help her in the kitchen. The penuche frosting goes with the cake nicely. -Beth Vorst, Columbus Grove, Ohio

  • If its too thin add in more icing powder a little at a time.
  • When to your desired spreading consistency, fill and frost cake.

Tips:

  • To make sure your cake is moist, use buttermilk instead of regular milk. Buttermilk helps to tenderize the cake and gives it a slightly tangy flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • To test if the cake is done, insert a toothpick into the center. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cake is done.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • If you don't have penuche frosting on hand, you can use a simple vanilla frosting instead.
