Personal Notes:
This recipe was given to me by my neighbor, Donna Rock, when Steve and I lived in Woodlawn Springs Subdivision. Steven was a baby when they moved by us. I made this cake for our family and it quickly became a family favorite. Not many Christmases go by without having this delicious treat!
