Introduction

This recipe was passed down from my grandmother. I do not know its origins, but it is moist & delicious! Her original coffee icing recipe was lost, so I have adapted a Better Homes & Gardens recipe for the frosting. In-between layers, a generous portion of grape jam adds a unique flavor and keeps the cake moist. This recipe was passed down from my grandmother.
