Notes: I have no idea where Mom ever got this recipe, as I've never seen it anywhere else. Maybe she made it up herself, I don't know. But this is a cake she made a lot in the 60s. It is very, very moist and very delicious. The topping sinks down into the cake as it is baking and it is heavenly served warm with a little scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on it. Also pretty darn tasty cold as well.
