Personal Notes:
My Daddy, Frank McKendred Salkeld, would bake this cake often for us four kids. My first memory of this special treat was when we lived on Barrow Road in Little Rock. He continued baking this cake for us through the years of our living on 13th Street by the Boys Club in North Little Rock and on Sycamore in Levy. Oh, the little things.....they are priceless!
