This 'heirloom' cake has appeared in various threads, from various posts, from different areas of the US and, indeed, of the world. 'Cowgirl' in Germany posted it. This particular variation comes from my grandmother, who came from NY state. She always made it when we went for visits. It probably goes back to her mother before her.
