I've wanted to make this cake for some time, growing up in Chicago, this cake was part of every bakery, especially around Christmas. It is named Atomic Cake, probably dating back to the time when everything was named the atom bomb or atom something or other.
Getting one of these from a bakery was a real treat. I've found recipes online and I do hope to make this fairly soon. Great food I miss so much is from Chicago. Italian Beef, great Italian bread, pizza (not that deep dish monstrosity, but the real Chicago thin crust pizza cut in squares.
