Notes: This is a cake we all know and love. Mom made it
frequently when we were all home. She was the expert at making this cake. Blinda and Rebecca
are carrying on the tradition by making the cake
for family gatherings. Keith always liked to scrap
the skillet that Mom made the icing in. He always
thought she cleaned the pan too much. A TRUE
FAMILY TRADITION...
