Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This is the birthday cake that Gram Vodvarka made for everyone's birthday. It is absolutely delicious . It is a very old recipe and once you taste it you will be hooked. They don't make cakes like this anymore. You can make it with Vikki's French butter cream or Vikki's chocolate icing she uses for her brownies. You can also add the cherry nut filling in this cake, then use the buttercream icing. Your friends and family will want this recipe. It's unforgettable.

My Mom did 9" round and also 9. x 13. sometimes I add I/2 cup of sour cream to batter to add more moisture to cake
