Momma made great big smiles with this wonderfully moist and delicious cake! I believe it's originally a newspaper clipping, but she's used it for the past 45 years at least. Filled with your favorite fruits and icing, this cake lends itself to any special occassion. I hope you like it as much as I do! Enjoy!!
