This is my husband's grandmother's (Minnie McCoy Whitehead) recipe for Lane cake It came from her mother,but we don't know her name they are direct descendants form the Hatfields and McCoys,she was born in 1899 in West Virginia. We have been trying to find this recipe in my mother-in-laws cookbooks and her recipe box. She was bad...
