Miami Beach Birthday Cake

Recipes »  Desserts  »  Cakes

This is the only cake my friend likes, because there is no icing, and because it has delicious "stuff" in the cake and isn't just plain cake. The "topping" sinks down into the batter as the cake bakes.

"I have been making this cake for YEARS and didn't realize it was a Pillsbury Bake-Off cake winner from 1964! It is one of the best cakes I have ever, ever had. I would never, ever put Cool Whip on something this wonderful, though. Either use real whipping cream, or make a cooked frosting." -

I am curious that it calls for 7 cups of sugar. I'm sure this is a typo, but just curious.

Everyone always loves it. It's a yearly must-bake.
