Personal Notes:
Editor's Note: This is such a yummy, moist cake. Grandma Kalles used to make this for many gatherings. I especially remember her coming to our Mattawa home and cooking with me and the kids. One year she came during the first week of June, our "birthday week" and made goodies for us. She was even able to attend Karl's school birthday party and made her "Peanut Butter Candy" as a treat. BTW, it is known as birthday week because the two boys and I have birthdays the 1, 2, and 3rd of June. Then, they both married women with birthdays on June 7. What are the chances?
