Notes: This recipe has been around for as long as I can remember. I would watch mom in the kitchen. You had to watch because it was not written. All of the Aunties loved this dessert recipe. Mom would make it with Chocolate sauce, Bootna would make it with Wine sauce, Helen would ask for Spice sauce and Thelma just loved the Lemon. I remember Bootna asking, 'What kind of sauce you want, the sisters would look at each other and say...Wine'..giggle giggle. I believe this recipe was made by my maternal grandmother. I pass it on to my children and nieces. 4 generations sharing- binding us together. Pass it on.
