OK, I'm new at this, so bear with me...
When I was little, I loved the Three Stooges. Actually, I'm 32 now and still love them. I always thought the food they cooked and ate looked delicious. Imparticularly, there was a running gag where the boys would be making a cake, but the cake would get an oven mit or a cushion accidentally thrown in, and hilarity would ensue. The cake was made of round, almost sponge cake-like layers. They would always put preserves in between the thick layers and cover the cake in a white, very liquidy icing.
Is this a real cake, or was it just used for comedic effect? I'm just getting into baking, and I'd really like to make this kind of cake for my brothers and I, but I don't even know where to begin?
Suggestions? 
OMG...that sure takes me back! I loved the 3 stooges too! In the clip from the movie the actress called it a "southern comfort cake" and I googled the recipe. And yes, 3GCakes it is a yellow cake...

To make glaze melt butter in saucepan. Stir in water and sugar. Boil 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in Southern Comfort.
Wow! Thanks so much. You know, I just watched the episode the other day and heard her call it a Souther Comfort Cake, but I thought that was just to set up the "Southern Comforter" joke! I never even thought to google it and see if it was real! Thanks so much. Can't wait to try this...
....plus it'll give me an excuse to buy some SoCo 
FYI, I've decided to make the Southern Comfort cake for my wife for Valentine's Day tonight. Then, we'll drink the rest of the SoCo: )
