Old-Fashioned Sad Cake

Old-Fashioned Sad Cake

I was so intrigued by the name when I first heard of this recipe. I knew it would be something I had to try. Why is it called a Sad Cake?
It is called Sad Cake because it raises fairly high, then caves in in the middle. You will be sad when the last crumb is gone!
I like to serve it with whipped cream.
SOOOO Delicious and addictive! It only takes 5 simple ingredients, a little mixing and you have a delightful Old-Fashioned Sad Cake.
