I have had this recipe for over 30 years.
It was given to me at my wedding shower by a dear, sweet little old lady with the warning:
“Never cut a piece of this cake without saying a prayer first…to ask the good Lord for restraint” !
She was a very wise woman. So, remember than if you make this cake. You’re going to need all the restraint you can get! Enjoy.

- 3 sticks margarine (no, don’t go and try to use butter)

Holly Macheral- what is the calorie/ fat content in one slice?!?!
Salt h2o… who cares!
I have to be careful to not make this for the house… only for a gathering in which I know one of two things: It will be eaten in full or I know I am leaving it there!
Sounds like a wonderful, rich cake to take to a social gathering with lots of people, so each only takes a thin slice, so they can handle all the calories.
