Looking for a recipe my Mom made when we were kids that she called Yum Yum cake. The ingredients are a lot like this and made the same way, but she used left over coffee in hers and it was delicious. Although I asked her for the recipe years ago and she did try to tell me, there has to be something missing since whenever I make it, it's always on the dry side. The only difference I can see between Mom's recipe and this one is the coffee added to it instead of water, but the measurements may be different. She never wrote a recipe down, just made it from memory or instinct, perhaps. She was a fantastic cook.
