I got this recipe from the September 2011 issue of Southern Living magazine...It looked so good that I thought I'd share. I'm really looking forward to making this cake soon for my family to enjoy. If someone has made or will be making this cake soon, please let me know how it turned out!!! The photo of the cake to the left is actually the one that's on the cover of the magazine. I hope everyone enjoys!
