Creole Cake

This is one of those recipes that has been around for a long, long time. I remember one of my aunt's making this recipe when i was a little girl. It brings back memories. The cake gets moister and more delicious after sitting for 24 hours.

Slowly add the boiling water while mixing with mixer at low speed.
