This is a great quick cake! Had family over and prepared this in a manner of minutes! Used low-fat milk. Baked for 30 minutes. Came out moist and delish! Thanks Mirj!

    Made this with our seniors at work and it was a big hit. Used rum extract instead of vanilla because that is what we had and it was awesome. Thanks for sharing Mirj.

    My DH thanks you a bunch, Mirj. This is a cake his Mother made him...uhmmmm...shall we say many, many years ago. She passed away and I didn't get the recipe from her. The cake is very moist, and very easy to make. I thank you, 'cause I finally made DH smile and was able to serve up lots of memories. Very good. Thanks for sharing.

    I have such a long story about making this cake. It is one my aunt used to make all the time, and I tried to recreate it, with flour that my roommate had used to shake in a bag with fish...then put the leftovers back in the cannister. I thought the cake had smelled and tasted funny, but she found it OK. Served it at a party. Turned out to be the best practical joke ever....only people were running to the balcony to spit it out. This one is much better...Minus the fish flour of course.
