Notes: This recipe was given to me by Alida Garrison, my mother-in-law. It is my husband's favorite cake which is baked every year for his birthday. Our sweet story as husband and wife began at Oak Street Baptist Church when we were united in marriage. The church holds many fond memories for me such as serving as pianist and later music director of the church where I directed the choir and the first instrumental ensemble in the area
