Notes: Family Memories from Marla: This recipe was sent to me by Aunt Thelma when I had my baking business "Cordials in a Crust." She sent me several cake recipes for rum cake or whiskey cake. This one led me to the recipe that I used for some of my restaurant customers.
Uncle Everett used to keep a coke machine on the back porch and seemed to always have a coke in his hand. He loved people and they loved him back. He teased me about my boyfriends and was always trying to get something going between me and Timmy Wilson who lived in town. He would get up at the crack of dawn to fix anything you wanted for breakfast. I remember going with him in the car to insurance appointments and he kept me laughing the whole time. He loved the old Studebaker that he drove. I still smile when I see an old Studebaker. . .
