VERA'S MENNONITE CAKE

We first enjoyed this delicious cake at a Mennonite Church potluck dinner, courtesy of a wonderful baker named Vera. She didn't have a title for her cake, so I named it myself. The texture of this cake is like a big pound cake, and the taste reminds me of tutti-frutti!

This funny cake is a cake/pie combination. The chocolate layer will sink to the bottom, giving it a gooey layer. A Mennonite favorite!
