Notes: When on a trip to the Outer Banks (2002) while we lived in Northern Virginia I picked up a cookbook from a local restaurant. According to the note I made in the cookbook, I made this cake when Uncle Gary, Aunt Jenny and Grandma Fern came to visit us in Richmond January 3, 2008. I do remember the cake being delicious and Grandma Fern wearing her pink stocking cap and being chilly. Sure do miss her!
