My grandmother's favorite cake, of mine. Almost everyone loves this cake. Not too sweet and freezes well. I've used this recipe to raise money for many fund raisers. This cake is better the next day, so make ahead if you can. It also freezes well, so have one on hand to bring to a sick friend or just to cheer someone up! Bon Apetit!
