I am amazed to see this recipe online. My mother has been making this exact recipe since the 70's. I now make it and bring it to all special gathering where it is met with rave reviews. It is very light and fluffy. One note: I typically omit the fruit topping as this cake is delightful on it's own without. I prefer to serve with fresh strawberries or raspberries on the side.

My mother rec'd this recipe from a work friend in the 1950's and has been making it ever since. As a matter of fact we just made this today!
