Personal Notes:
This recipe came from my mother (Viola Carr). It was the first cake
I ever made. I was probably about eight, standing on a chair, following
her instructions, thinking this was a great idea because we could mix it in
the same pan we baked it in. Oh, by the way, it tastes pretty good too.
