OLD-FASHIONED BUTTERSCOTCH CAKE WITH PENUCHE FROSTING
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
