Great Grandma Mathis' Harvest Cake

When I recently found a box of my great grandmother's recipes, I was excited to start trying them out.  To start out with, I made her Harvest Cake with Harvest Icing.  It is a pretty heavy cake that isn't too sweet (it sort of reminds me of pancakes).  It goes great with a cup of coffee.  I had fun making the cake from my Grandma Mathis' handwritten recipe card.  (I was very thankful for my Sunbeam mixer too.  The icing took about 20 minutes to make.  It saved my arm.)

And here is the finished product!
