Recipe full of love & wonderful memories! I've never heard of anyone else calling it Poor Man's Cake, outside of my family. This cake is easy to make & stays good for a long time. I once shipped it to Iraq for my Dad when he was stationed there during Christmas. He said it arrived in perfect form (at that time it took 3-6 weeks for mail to be delivered!).
