Delicious, light, creamy, moist, etc.. etc.. This cake was served at Patti's 1880's Restaurant near Paducah. The recipe was published in the newspaper in 2000. We have lost and found the recipe a dozen times. Read more So now it's preserved. The three day aging period is the key factor in the final texture of this cake. See less
