Did I mention that I recently visited Sanabel and Captiva Island in Florida?
This is the FAMOUS dessert we had from The Bubble Room on Captiva.
We were SO excited when we found this recipe and I made it last night!

DIRECTIONS
Press !/2 of mixture into each bottom of 2 greased and floured 8" or 9" pans.
2) In a large bowl, blend cake ingredients at low speed until moistened,
Beat 2 Minutes on High Speed. Pour into pans,
3) Bake at 350 degrees for 30 -40 minutes. Cool 10 Minutes.
Remove from pans and cool completely.

Notes
My Kitchen Aide Mixer helped a lot for blending cake ingredients and then making the frosting.
THIS CAKE IS SPECIAL. ENJOY
