Elsie's 
Italian Cream Cake 
 
Moist, rich and flavorful, this is a cake for special occasions.

     Elsie does not cook a lot but when she 
	does, it is great.  She surprised us one day bringing down a few slices 
	of this cake for us.  I immediately asked for the recipe and she was 
	kind enough to send it.   |
