Notes: We know Grandma Brightwell started making this cake as early as 1958 when my mom joined the family. I grew up with her making this cake for every holiday and special occasions that often included our Grandparents Stevens and other extended family.
Grandma's Brightwell and Stevens enjoyed each others company. The picture above is of them in Lancaster during one of the many Sunday trips our family enjoyed!
