OMG! I made this when I could not sleep one night as a teenager. My Mom had thrown it out by the time I got up the next morning. I was so hurt!! Then she took me over to the dry good drawer and showed me what I had done. In my sleep deprived stat I had used salt insted of sugar!!! LOL! It is such a great cake... Thanks for the great post!
