Notes: "Tom and Suzie was visiting with Grandma shortly after we were married when Susie asked her for the recipe. She shared with her that she would make this cake "for my boys who were fighting in the war." She said that it shipped well and with all those spices, it did not spoil. I'm sure a lot of love and prayers went into making the cakes. She was so thankful that her boys got home safely."
Angie McDonald is Michael McDonald's great-great-grandmother.
