Awesome! I made this for my family this weekend and it was a huge hit. It was gone in no time at all. They've already requested it for next time and took the recipe home with them. Thanks for sharing this wonderful keeper. It's in my Best of cookbook too.

Oh my goodness, this was such a delicious stroll down memory lane. I remember making this cake when I was in high school, and it's every bit as delicious today. I baked this as a special treat to celebrate a family member's birthday last weekend, and we all loved it. (I put the last bit in the fridge overnight, and we finished off the rest of the cake the next morning with a cup of hot coffee. And while the whipped cream layer was just beginning to thin out a bit, it was still every bit as delicious as the day I baked it. Thanks, ForeverMama.
