Personal Notes:
This is a delicious cake! If you try to use 2 9" cake pans it may fall in the middle...however, it is still so good the coaches used to ask for "the cake that falls in the middle" when we sold cakes to make money for the homemaking department!

JoAnn was one of my favorite people...and an excellent cook. I'm so pleased to have this recipe she was known for! We were military wives together at Whiteman AFB, Mo...and helped put together the fund=raiser cookbook for the Officer's Wives Club in 1965. I'm so thankful to have participated at several locations...so many friends and memories when I scan the pages.
