Notes: This recipe was from Dot Gilbert Latiolais. I have no clue who Irma was but it's a great cake. It was the favorite of Joe's co-workers in New Orleans. I baked this cake for the nurses at Our Lady of Lourdes while mom was ill. When I got to the hospital the following day she had promised one to a nurse for her child's birthday. I was tired but had to start baking that evening when I returned to mom's house. Next morning a little man knocked on our door and said "I'm here for the "CAKE" It was my only attempt at being a professional baker but of course I did not get paid!
