Friendship Cake Recipe

I received a lot of responses to my Facebook posts about the friendship cake.  This is Mike's absolute favorite and I can't resist eating it up like a piggy with the munchies.  So I thought I'd post the recipe.  This is not my own original recipe.  It's straight out of the novel Friendship Cake by Lynne Hinton.  You can check out the book on Amazon and even take a sneak peak inside.
