Vernice’s Sock-It-To-Me Cake
Hey there! I’m so excited to share my mom, Vernice’s, amazing Sock-It-To-Me Cake recipe with you today. Let me tell you, my mom was a whiz in the kitchen (almost everybody thinks their mom is a whiz in the kitchen). Whether it was whipping up hearty dinners or baking sweet treats, she always had a way of making everything taste like pure love.
One of her absolute best creations was her Sock-It-To-Me Cake. Now, I know this cake isn’t exactly a secret recipe – you have seen versions of it before. But there’s just something special about the way my mom made it. Maybe it was the extra care she put into every step, or maybe it was just that mom magic. Whatever it was, it always tasted like the best cake in the world to me.
