Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
When we were growing up, friends would ask
Mother to bake this cake for them. Uncle
Woodrow Rushton really loved this cake. Our
elementary school secretary paid for the
ingredients for Mother to bake one for her
every Christmas. It was not one that I liked, but
many others begged her to make it.
