*This recipe is double the original one because I had to feed 12 people. We used this cake for strawberry shortcake and English Trifle served with sauces, decorated for special occasions, sliced in 1/2" slices and sandwiched with peanut butter for school lunches, cut in large cubes for mocha cakes and used as base for ice cream sundaes.

Note: In typing this, it makes my mouth water thinking of the cake sandwiched with peanut butter. Brings back memories!!
