Grandma Holden-said this was great recipe to serve
during the holidays; when family got together. She baked the cake in a tube pan, she called it or said it could be baked in a flat cake pan.She made her
own sour cream and buttermilk and butter. Don't you know how good it was. She says to serve warm with cream. I bet its good any way. I'm so glad I found it.
