This was a cake my mom used to make when her and my dad had to work Bingo when my sister and I were in Catholic school. People would reserve pieces before the kitchen even opened and was always the first thing sold out! The best part is you ice the cake when it's hot so the icing becomes part of the cake as it cools! This is super easy, and always pleases any crowd! I will hopefully have pictures up soon!
