In the early 70's, we attended church with Granny Seale. She gave me the recipe for this wonderful cake during that time...so, I guess that means that I have been making it for about 40 years! Wow!
A friend of German decent always welcomed this cake for his birthday, his mother had always made it for him prior to her passing. It is so moist and apple season is a perfect time to make it!
