I adore eating this cake with a scoopful of ice cream.
Check out what Cate Can Cook had to say about this recipe:
Many years ago a friend commented that there was a particular cake shop that made a particular cake that she liked. Me being me, decided to investigate said cake, and attempt my version of it. Now I have never tasted the original cake – but only gazed longingly at it, and based on her description – this is what I came up with. I have made this recipe many times over the years – and it is always a winner!!
This cake is truly something special and should be served any time you wish to impress the masses.

1 tsp Heinz white vinegar

Preheat oven to 150 degrees.
