    2       tb           Light corn syrup

   Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all ingredients (except sauce). Pour
   into a greased floured tube pan and bake until cake tests done -
   about 1 hour. Let cool in pan about 10  minutes; turn out on rack and
   cool completely. Poke holes through cooled cake with skewer and pour
   half of sauce over top (sauce recipe makes enough for two cakes).
   Wrap tightly and let sit for three days.
   (SAUCE - MAKES ENOUGH FOR TWO CAKES)
   Combine all ingredients in a large sauce pan. Bring to a boil and boil
   until mixture will spin a thread when poured off the end of a spoon -
   about 10 minutes. Cool slightly and pour sauce over cakes.
