Personal Notes:
This is another of those recipes that I got from somebody else. I bought a small cookbook in 1988 from the USAA Retirees that contained many good recipes, but this, I thought, was the absolute best. I baked this cake many, many times and received accolades each time. I wish it had been an original, but I accepted the kudos anyway. One thing I always did was add pecans to the cake as well as the icing. I love pecans!!
