Notes: This is such a special cake for Christmas. When Bryan (Bud) was working at Kountry Kupboard, Janet says she tried the jam cake that Flo (Florentino Moriote, owner) was selling. She told Flo that it was the worse jam cake she had ever tasted and that he should make "my mother-in-law"s" cake. He asked for the recipe and has been making it ever since. This is one of the legacies that 'Granny-Ruby' has passed down.
