This recipe came from a cookbook by Mary Starr my Mom had when I was little. Mary Starr was a local cooking celebrity, on one of the local TV Stations. All the recipes in the book were submitted by viewers, so, I don't know whose recipe it really was! Read more ! This is the first cake I ever made, and I was in 6th grade! Was at her house the other night, and remembered this recipe. It's amazingly simple, and so moist and rich, too! Great for office parties and church functions. Ingredients:
