This is absolutely one of my all time favorite cakes, which my mother traditionally made for my birthdays.  I love making it any time of year, but it is perfect in  spring and summer as a light refreshing treat.  You can even add strawberries to make stripes and berries for stars on the Fourth of July.  What could be better than that?

*You may also want to try orange cake and jello as a variation, similar to the Orange Dreamsicle Cake.  I have often thought about a chocolate respberry version as well.

I hope you will love this cake as much as I do.  For more easy cake recipes and tips, visit Lisa at Stop and Smell the Chocolates and Kristen at We are THAT Family.
