This recipe was one that belonged to my great-great grandmother, Minerva Modlin, who was born in 1898 and died in 1966. She made this cake for her children and grandchildren-and they all enjoyed it. My great-aunt copied down the recipe many years ago and allowed me copy it down, so I could learn to make it. It is out of this WORLD!
