Best Cake Ever!

This is my wonderful Mother-in-Law's recipe, and it's the BEST CAKE EVER! It's been in her family for several years, and I wanted to share it with ya'll, because it's too good to keep to myself. If there's ever a dessert that I could just sit down and eat till I popped...this is it!

Please let me know your comments after you try it! It's supposed to be served after sitting in the refrigerator until it gets cold, but I never can wait that long!

ENJOY!
