Mom made this cake one year for my elementary school’s “Lawn Fete” and I really wanted it. I remember participating in the cake walk multiple times hoping to win it back. In the end, I went home with two cakes. One of them was indeed the cake my mom had taken to the school. She could not believe it. In fact, I don’t remember her being happy about it.

Quick Notes
This is a very rich cake.
I only had two matching round pans, so I made the cake with just two layers. It was still very delicious.
