This recipe is dedicated to
Rosalee "Nannie" Kemmerlin, who passed away from a Stroke, September 28, 2004. This cake was our Christmas favorite, you see we were not allowed to bother the Christmas dessert's until Christmas morning, no matter what! The children and grandchildren were always eager to help mix this cake and would race to be the first to cut this cake to see the design inside, caused by mixing the different colors together. It may have been just our imagination, however, it was the excitement after the gifts had been opened. We have not mastered this just yet, but we keep trying every year.
