This recipe came from my sweet mother-in-law, Velda Stowell. She has made this cake for as long as I have known her. It was not Thanksgiving unless she made this cake. It is one of Kyle’s favorites and he makes it a couple of times a year himself. You can’t make this cake and not think of Grandma Stowell.
