I'm just sitting here wanting to make something different, something old fashioned, something that will add a little spice to my after-dinner-table tonight. I have no idea what I will make for dinner, but I do know this cake is going to accompany it this evening. Did you ever get your hands on a recipe you just have to make? Something that has been handed down for generations, through tailgating parties, or welcome-to-the-neighborhood goodies? Well this is it. Forget dinner, throw in something quick, spend time making this cake instead!
