This cake is almost as sweet as the person who gave me this recipe...Mrs. Nancy Visser. Nancy is an amazing person. Phillipians 1:3-6 "I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine making request for you all with joy, for your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ."
