I love this recipe. My sister in law used to make this whenever we went home to Southern Illinois to visit my husband's sisters and brothers. I always loved it. I've never been able to make it as well as Freda but this recipe is a close second. If you are looking down from heaven, Freda, I have named this cake for you.
