I love this cake! I make it often. I've seen it done with a smidge of cinnamon in the cake batter which gives it a different flavor.

This is Pioneer Woman's recipe, and her photo. I love her site (www.thepioneerwomancooks.com), so I wanted to give credit where credit is due. :)

It is a great cake, though!

You know ladies... I give the credit to Nancerose because she shared it!!! Quite honestly, I've been given recipes from friends who say that it's a family heirloom recipe and lo and behold, I read it in a magazine or a cookbook. Well, maybe it was a family recipe and whoever submitted the recipe to a magazine or a cookbook duplicated it!!! Picky, picky picky... this is a great opportunity to share and I love reading all the recipes no matter where they come from. If someone wants to use my recipes and pass them along then I feel honoured. Thanks Nancerose and Cheers!!!
