This was my favorite cake growing up. It's a common cake around these parts of Pennsylvania. Sadly, no one makes it. Except this Mennonite woman selling her baked goods. I asked son, what kind of cake. Very dark. Well, its a black joe he said with a smile. I was like no way. Sold. Following week I said to thank ur mom for the nostalgia and memories this cake triggered. So I Google it. Never expecting any hits. I clicked on this recipe. Easy. Quick. And I have made at least 12 of them using this recipe. Gatherings, birthdays,neighbors & myself. I do both vanilla icing or peanut butter icing. I did change pan size. 8 x 3.5 round.

Delicious cake that won us all over! Vanilla Buttercream Frosting worked great for this cake. Yum yum!

I made this cake recently for my son's birthday and it was enjoyed by all at the party. The cake was very moist and tasted so delicious that people went back for another piece. I used a Fresh Strawberry Frosting and it was such a great choice for this cake. You can count on me making this again!
