This recipe was submitted in memory of my grandma, Ida Legnion; it was her favorite cake, and 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 also better the next day, so make it 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!
