Notes: This is Michelle's favorite cake. My grandma Tilby often had this cake at her house. She often covered it with a strawberry marshmallow frosting. The frosting is really sweet and often, I'd scrape off the frosting and just eat the cake.
Grandma would flip this cake over on top of a glass bottle to cool.
Very good memories associated with this cake. Love my Grandma Tilby!
