This recipe is awesome. I used the black walnut flavoring in the icing instead of vanilla and topped with chopped walnuts. It's probably one of the best recipes I have found. Thanks so much.

I was first introduced to this great cake at the Pruett Family Reunions held in Franklin, North Carolina. My husband is one of eight children raised in the Great Smokey Mountains. His mother cooked great meals on a very tight budget. She passed these skills along to her children. Libby Spencer my sister-in-law made this cake at reunion time and I was hooked. Try this cake I hope you are hooked too. dpbstill [I posted this recipe.]
