This rich and substantial cake is the traditional birthday cake for my brother and me. It is beloved over all foods, even cheeseburgers and oysters! The night of my sixth birthday, my brother snuck into the kitchen while everyone else was sleeping and ate all of the leftover cake. It made him very ill. What a waste! Our mom was indulgent enough to let us eat leftover cake for breakfast the day after our birthdays,
but no cake for breakfast that year!
