    This is an old fashion ,traditional dessert in the South. It apparently has been around for many years. One can add just about anything in this cake , and it will stand out as a big winner. It takes many steps and patience, but the wait is worth it. This is not an original recipe but I have made some changes.

    Ingredients

    • 1 box white cake
    • 7-8 egg yolks
    • 2 T. flour

    4. 4. Spread the filling between the layers of cooled cake, on sides and top as well.

      Wow! This sounds wonderful, thanks for sharing. I'm glad Ms. Nancy C. from the group "Loads of Loaves of Bread" asked about it.
