I have never had luck with homemade cake recipes until I tried this one. It's light and super moist and the frosting isn't too sweet.

Started cooking/baking with Gram just as soon as I was old enough to stand in a chair, with her apron tied around my chest. Made my first solo Thanksgiving meal at age 8. Putting a new flair on classic nothern New England style cooking.
