VICKIE BOHALL, INIANAPOLIS, IN got the recipe from a family member yrs ago. I always make this in cupcakes because my kids have always fought over who is going to get the middle piece. This is always made for birthdays! What makes this cake super is the icing, it is a mock whipped cream, the more you whip it the better it is!!!
