Cynthia Knauer of Allentown, Pennsylvania, writes: "I remember this moist, flavorful cake from my childhood. When I bake it for my family now, it doesn't even last a day — we nibble on it every time we pass through the kitchen. Because it's quick to make and requires no icing, it's a great dessert to take on picnics and other outings." Cynthia Knauer is the mother of our recipe cross-tester, Ian Knauer. She sometimes serves her cake with whipped cream and strawberries, but it's also delicious on its own.

Cooks' note:

Cake keeps in an airtight container at room temperature 3 days.
