Personal Notes:
Sometimes I add 1/2 teaspoon of lemon flavoring in addition to the vanilla. I also frost the cake with lemon flavored cream cheese icing. Mama made a glaze from confectioner's sugar and poured it over the cake. Sometimes she didn't frost it at all...there's nothing better this side of Heaven!
