Personal Notes:
My Aunt Angie said this was my Grandmother's favorite cake. Her recipe had shortening (lard) and butter in it. It was only made in the Winter when apples came in and if they got oranges at Christmas.
The variance in cooking time depends on the type of pan you use. Generally done in about 70-75 minutes or less.
