Notes: Reta Johnson is my husband Jim Johnson's paternal grandmother who was always know to her grand children as Granny. I was privileged to be asked to call her Granny as well.
This cake can be made in two sizes - for small use the amounts in the brackets.
This is Jim's favorite and we used to take bags of white sugar to Granny in Barbados as it was so expensive there. Can use mixed essence (available in Barbados and specialty shops) instead of vanilla.
