"A man who was fond of wine was offered some grapes at dessert after dinner. "Much obliged," said he, pushing the plate aside; "I am not accustomed to take my wine in pills."--Jean Antheleme Brillat-Savarin, The Physiology of Taste

Personal Notes:
This cake serves a crowd. It is great for a quick cake for the team. In 1988 Pat Chapin gave this recipe to Mary Christian. I have been making it for a long time too. I call it a self leveling cake cause you put it where you want it then it bakes to a nice flat surface. Easy to write Go Team on!
