Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This is a recipe I wrote down one summer in the late sixties when our Dad's mother and our grandmother, Clara Henderson, was staying with us. She had the recipe in her head and I wrote down the ingredient's and the directions as she made this wonderful Cake. Also see her Pound cake recipe which is very similar to this and is a family favorite.
I believe Grandma may have also referred to this as Rum Cake, but I am not 100% positive.
