Patti this is the perfect cake for a child to make isn't it!!! I use baking splenda instead of sugar and it's just as good!!

Oh Angel, I just couldn't wait so made it this afternoon! I ate almost half of it while it was still warm and drank a big cold glass of milk with it! Wow, it tasted just as good as I remember! What a treat! I felt like a kid again! Thanks again for the recipe and the memories!

or yellow???

Oh, I remember this cake too, from when I was little!!! It was the first cake I ever made. I remember getting some magazine (can't remember which one) and it came with a recipe for kids every month. I mostly remember dusting it with the confectioners sugar. I have all the ingredients in my cupboard. I think I'll have my daughter bake it today. I'll let you know how it turned out
