My childhood friend’s mom always made this for her birthday Boeing up in the 1980s. It has been so hard to find this recipe and this is the closest thing! The only difference is that her frosting was cream-cheese based. This is the most divine cake that exists. Thank you!!
My mom made this cake for me for a couple birthdays (in the 80s) and I have made it for my two girls as well. Such a yummy special cake with not too much effort.
