12/16/08 07:11 PM | Holiday FavoriteI inherited this recipe from my mother and aunt. It has been a tradition in our family for over 50 years. The butter icing is to die for. You must put the ingredients in as the recipe calls or it will fall falt, but the result is well worth it and it is even better the second day. Well worth the effort. |
