No problem! I love sharing recipes that I know are awesome. I've held onto this bad boy for years and years and never once have I had a complaint. This cake doesn't stand a chance around here when I make it.

Let me know what you think when you make it.​

Ok, I know you said not to change anything but.....
I don't buy margarine. Can I use butter? Will it ruin the cake and everyone will hate me? I can't have that kind of pressure over my head.

I've never tried it with butter, honestly. And I'm a huge fan of using real butter with most, if not all, of my cooking. I suppose you could give it a shot. If it turns out bad, it's not my fault!
