Perfect for a Party Cake - Moist and Delicious


Served at a lovely baby shower, this cake is so moist with the addition of vanilla pudding mix and sour cream. Perfect for Valentine's Day too. Another delicious cake is Polly Rosenbaum's 100th Birthday cake from Tastes & Treasures cookbook, page136.
