Personal Notes:
This was our favorite cake and we had it for every birthday. Grandma Dot was baking this cake when Grandpa Earnie cut his hand badly on the table saw as he was building on our bedrooms. She hurried out the door to take Dad to the hospital and hollered to me to take the cake out of the oven----so I did---and it was still raw. (Grandma Jan)
