Lee Craig Douglas submitted this recipe to a Saturday Evening Post contest and it subsequently appeared in a cookbook of popular recipes from that lauded magazine. I've used this more times than I can remember, and it's always a winner! I sometimes use 1/2 whole wheat four and less oil: it is a very moist cake.

I wouldn't recommend this cake. It was a lot of work and the end result was not worth it.

This cake was a disappointment. The cake was dense and the frosting was grainy.

I thought this cake was just okay. The cake was a little dry and the frosting was too sweet for my taste.
