This cake could be 1 million stars!! We use buttermilk instead of the sour cream. My mother started making this for family reunions in the 1960s and they still request it 64 years later.

This is one of the best sheet cake recipes there is, I also like the Texas WHITE SHEET CAKE too, very good and very moist. I calls for almond almond extract, so I get it at like a Rural King, as it is so much cheaper. Thanks for all the great recipes.
