Kathy Walek Hoff:
Grandma called this Mocha Cake (although we often called it Peanut Cake) and it was a favorite of hers. Often instead of baking the cake, she would buy already baked angel food cake, cut in squares, frost and roll in peanut crumbs.
Holly Walek Pitz:
Grandma's Mocha Cake was one of my favorites.
Gary Walek indicated this was one of his favorites.
