Love this cake! Something I always request at Thanksgiving. I prefer it with the caramel icing. This is an old fashioned icing recipe, doubles as mom's caramel fudge. I remember Dad helping her beat the icing every year. Read more . Her arm wold get sooo tired, and she would bring the pan to him, in the living room, with a hot pad, and he would place the hot pad on that old beige stool in front of him, putthe pan on it, and beat that icing while he sat in his chair watching tv!! OH YEAH - do not refrigerate the cake. Ingredients:
