My mother made this cake for my birthday from about 1975 on. Using this exact recipe. And I have been making it every year for at least 20 years. I don't know where she got the recipe from, but it is delicious! I just made it for my son today for his birthday. I add the zest of the orange and 1/2 teaspoons salt with the dry ingredients, but otherwise, exactly!

My aunt made this same recipe for several years for family gatherings. She passed away a few years ago but when my cousin said she had the recipe, she gave it to me. My aunt's recipe specifically calls for "1 can Lucky Leaf Cherry Pie filling". I would guess that is where the recipe originally came from. Delicious!
