Introduction
My grandma heavily adapted this cake from "The Best of the Best and More". This Canadian (I believe) recipe is one of those kistchy, "I-can't-believe-it-tastes-good" church supper desserts. Make sure you let the soaker glaze do it's job and have the pan sit at least 2 hours before cutting into it. My grandma heavily adapted this cake from "The Best of the Best and More".
