My MIL's recipe -- Another cake from the great state of Texas that my family has enjoyed for about 40 years -- This cake is made with more butter, and 1 cup of sour cream, instead of the 1/2 cup called for in most recipes here on Zaar. ******NOTE: Feel free to make this cake the day before you plan to serve -- as some of the reviewers have mentioned, it is even better the day after baking! ****** Can also be baked in two 9-inch layers (metal pans) at 350F for 25-30 minutes!

[email protected]I'm sorry, but this cake was a complete disaster. It was so dry and crumbly, it was almost inedible. The frosting was also too sweet and overpowering. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.
