This cake is divine and NOT HEALTHY. :-) This recipe came from my aunt, who got it from my grandmother. (She died before I was born and was making this cake in the 40s and 50s, according to my dad).

This cake is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try cutting the amount of sugar in half next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cake turned out dry and crumbly. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened. Maybe I overbaked it?
