This recipe is from my Aunt Cindie. My family just loves this cake, and it is my dad’s favorite cake. I make it for him for his birthday and for Father’s Day. As you can tell from the ingredients, it’s definitely NOT a low-calorie dessert. It is similar to a pound cake, but better (or should I say butter). My dad always asks me to under cook it just slightly because he likes the top just a little gooey – so do I! The original recipe as listed below, calls for 3 cups sugar. However, I cut it down slightly and only use about 2 ¾ cup. I know you are going to love this.
