1940, old fashion recipe will not disappointed. Your family will love this easy cake and if you take to a gathering
Others will ask for the recipe.


If you don’t enjoy getting out the mixer to make a cake this is the one for you!
No special equipment is required. In fact, we mix everything by hand, so no mixer bowl, beaters or attachment to clean.

You even add the frosting while the cake is still hot which is a huge time saver. This cake is perfect for when you need a quick and delicious dessert. I highly recommend this wonderful old fashioned recipe

Spray a 9 x 13 or 8 x 11 baking pan with cooking spray and add batter. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 30 35 minutes until the center tests done. Make frosting below and poke holes in hot cake with a wooden spoon.
