Found this recipe in my grandmother's recipe album.. Its delicious and super moist(due to the use of egg yolks, she didn't use whole eggs for this recipe, just the yolks) it makes me think of Christmas, has a holiday feel to it, taste like a cinnamon gingerbread cake.. I hope y'all try it and like it!! :) Let me know how it goes for you!!
