Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This is a recipe handed down from my Grandma Mary Burnett. At Christmas time we add cut up gum drops and chopped candied cherries. We then make it in loaf pans. I made this the year before Ron was to be born, and I think I ate two cakes by myself, in small pieces. Maybe that’s part of the reason he was 10 lbs. at birth?! I still love to make this at the Christmas season, and at any other time.
