Here's my copy of the recipe in my mom's own handwriting.
First you cream together 1/2 block of butter with 1/4 cup sugar. I like to whip it up til it's nice and fluffy.
Then you add 8 oz. sour cream and 1 tsp. vanilla.
Add 4 eggs. I usually beat well after each egg.
Then add 1/2 cup of vegetable oil.
Pour in one box of butter cake mix.
It'll be really lumpy. I try to smash all the lumps as best that I can.
Pour into 3 greased and floured loaf pans. I line with foil instead.
Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes.
If any of you tried my sister Geri's Carrot Cake recipe you know that I'm not lying when I say that this is really good. And if you make it and people like it and ask you for the recipe, feel free to pass it out. My mom would be so pleased.

Thanks Jalna to you (and your mom) for sharing a really good recipe - I have to try it. My family has always been like that too, eager to share recipes of really ono stuff, no "secret" recipes, they are for sharing. Glad you and your mom subscribe to this philosophy too!
Oh I meant to ask too if you've made this recipe with different brands of boxed cake mix? When it comes to making boxed chocolate cake for a base for recipes I've noticed a difference when using Pillsbury vs. Duncan Hines vs. Betty Crocker. Just wondering. Thanks!
You're welcome MJC. My mom will be so tickled to hear all of your responses. Thanks for asking about the brand of cake mix. I should've mentioned it . . . my mom prefers the Duncan Hines brand.
I made your mom's recipe for Shun Wah and Stan Oka. I had a meeting with them and they really liked it. I also followed lining the pan with foil - what a great idea. Thanks again for sharing your mom's yummy recipe.
Yay, Celia! I'm so glad you tried it out and shared.
