This was an old Pillsbury Bake-Off recipe, back when they baked from scratch! My mother made this cake several times and it is well worth the effort. She loved to bake cakes and pies. Homemade, scratch cakes are far superior than any box cake. I think of the love that goes into the work. Try this for a special dinner, your guests/family will RAVE!
