I’ve been serving this cake for brunch and also dessert since the 1970’s when I received the recipe from Doris Hayner, a friend and co-worker who was a great cook. So far, I’ve never found anyone who doesn’t like it. Since the cake starts with a mix and has minimal ingredients, it can be whipped up in just minutes.
