Amalgamation Cake Using A Cake Mix

I ate this cake while visiting a friend who used to live in florence al. She got the recipe from a co-worker of hers, she hates to share recipes, but i was persistant. (hey is that like obnoxious?) fantastic cake, does not even randomly taste like it started with a cake mix. Don't substitute any ingredients, i tried and failed. You can use any white frosting you like.
