Hot Water Cake With Penuche Frosting Recipe


Hot Water Cake With Penuche Frosting Recipe Lanijoy / All my dishes

My Mom used to make this for my Dad to take on his fishing trips. It's moist so keeps very well and isn't too sweet but has a beautiful brown sugar frosting. My job was to chop the raisins to smithereens while she made the batter. Whew
