My mom was cleaning out one of her closets and came across several folders full of recipes that she had clipped from magazines and newpapers over the years. This came from the Recipes & Requests column of a July 1998 edition of the Knoxville News-Sentinel. This simple cake goes well with a nice cup of tea!
