This cake is an oldie but a goodie! It's delicious with just a light dusting of powdered sugar, but if you really want to gild the lily, whip up a glaze with some powdered sugar and lemon or lime juice to drizzle over the top.This recipe is by Patricia Brown of Pikesville, Maryland, and was originally published in The Baltimore Sun.
