Personal Notes:
This recipe was found by Grandmother Succop in one of her magazines. Marion probably made this recipe hundreds of times before she retired. It was a favorite among Ben's uncles. The cake is a classic because it is so easy to make and does not take much time. I still make this, and Adam's teenage friends love it. Hope you will too!!!!!
