I made this cake for my family two days ago & served it slightly warm after school – wow! It was an event because it was so good. I served the rest with dinner last night – and we soooooo enjoyed it. I’m going to record this one in my “special recipes” book so I don’t lose the recipe.

Thank You for refreshing my memory about this cake. This is one my mom used to make all the time, and I completely forgot about it until now. I will have to did out my moms recipe and compare.

Mrecipe for this cake came from my “Aunt Bonnie” who lived on a farm and cooked for a large family. I make it often and think of her. But I do have delicious recipes from my grandmother. She owned a restaurant and started teaching me to cook at an early age!

I’ve been making this cake for over 40 years. It was always my mothers favorite cake. The recipe came from my fathers mother, who had copied it from an old magazine. I love it because it can be made ahead and frozen. It even tastes wonderful when its only partially thawed. Its still a regular at Christmas dinner.

My Grandma Louise made homemade noodles, the best. She would lay her sheets out on pages of newspapers, and said that if you could read the headlines through the dough, the noodles were thin enough. She also made a killer green tomato pie, and apple pies from a Stayman apple tree in her yard.

My Grandma Ellen was Italian, and made lasagna, and a great lemon meringue pie. I didn’t get many of their recipes due to other family members coming in, taking them, and refusing to share. But, the ones I do have, I treasure! I had my mother-in-law write all her recipes out and put them into a journal for my oldest daughter when she got married two years ago, so that she would have some of her grandmother’s recipes, in her own handwriting. I’m in the process of writing mine out, but I DO have them all saved on my computer, and on a flash drive. Guess that’s the modern way, now!
