The D'Olier Birthday Cake is a treasured vintage family recipe baked for many, many years on the occasion of a family member's birthday.
When we were first married, this was the "I must make" cake for him ... I can tell you I have made this cake for many years now, but always only on the occasion of his birthday. It really is an old-fashioned pound cake-type cake, that is easily made, and very rich with 5 eggs and a cup of real butter.
