Notes: This is another one of those wonderful tried and true recipes passed down through generations that I have adopted, with a few new twists and turns it has been fun to create my own recipes.
Thanks to Grandma Bula and great grandma Williams!
Chefs Note.
Don't be concerned about the finger test, it is the only way to test the cake in these instants, if tested with a wooden testing stick it could cause the cake to fall!
Clean hands are still the best tool in the kitchen.
Hascap Berries also known as (Honey Berries) Grow lucratively in the Prairies, even in the northern area, they are tough enough to survive our Prairie winters, and loaded with vitamins and antioxidants.
I have been harvesting these berries for 10 years in my own garden, they bear fruit early in the season, a welcome taste of spring after a long winter.
