This was found in a cookbook compiled by my grade school over 30 years ago. It has stood the test of time and is a favorite amongst my extended family, friends, kids, and their friends. It has even been requested as a birthday cake by my daughter! I have yet to find anyone else who has had it prior to sampling from our kitchen. We freely share the recipe, as something this decadent should not be kept secret.
