I sampled this cake once at an Amish church function.Yum, yum, yum.
It is a really moist cake that is sometimes served at the after-church meal.
I sampled it once in Montana's Amish settlement. Â I wish I had a photo, but I do have the recipe.
If someone else makes it and wants to share a photo, please do.

is this like angel food or sponge cake ??
Kevin
Good question...You make it in a tube pan, if memory serves me right, it was more "angel" than sponge!:)
Betsy
Sponge. Angel food does not use the yolks.
Kevin
Thank you so much Betsy, I was trying to remember back to her three years which is when I last tried the cake and I just couldn't remember exactly. That helps
