My mom won first place for this cake back in the day and I think it would be safe to say it has been awhile since she made it. I found it in her old recipe box and thought it was time to let the recipe out of the vault and share her secrets with the rest of the world. I'm sure there are many out there who have been waiting all these years to get her secret recipe... so without further adieu I give you Kathy's Blue Ribbon Chiffon Cake.
