Oven Broiled Cake image

My Mother made this cake when I was a kid. She also gave it it's name, I assume. She made the cake batter from scratch, but I find that a packaged cake mix is easier. Most of the time she made it to take to family reunions or other socials. My children and Grand kids love it.
