When asked by my mother what kind of cake I wanted her to make, this was my first choice. It’s so simple and so good. Everyone knew there would be coffee served at 3:00 in the afternoon in my mother’s kitchen and a good dessert would be offered, this being one of them. My Aunt Carol and Uncle Bobby or friends would drop by and spend time around the kitchen table. I loved sitting and listening to them talk. I was often times told to “go play,” but managed to linger longer. When I eat this cake today, I remember those times.
