My mom and sisters used to make this cake all the time. It's delicious and definitely is moist. Notice there are no eggs in the recipe (there are eggs in mayo). I could be wrong, but I believe a mayo-like product such as Miracle Whip (tm) could be substituted.

There are some recommendations for pan size and such on the comments page. A member of the site was kind enough to post a frosting recipe:

I don't remember ever having anything but Miracle Whip in our house. I wish I had Mother's original recipe....maybe if I looked through some boxes I could find it. Thanks for the memory, Mike.
