Personal Notes:
I copied this receipe from Mother's cookbook when she was still living in St. Elmo. I have never tried this receipe because I remember Mother and Aunt Faithie complaining when it wouldn't come out of the pan easily. This cake was a staple at our Christmas dinners when I was growing up and I loved it. I really wish someone would make it for me someday.
