    ~ but ~
    Just an expletive of how damn good that recipe reads :o)
    Grandma use to make one just about like it...she called it 'Depression Cake'
    Her and Grandad had the milk cows,chickens,churned butter,ground flour...it was the sugar they were slight on...but...they got along,and persevered in those severe years.
    Nice to see you after all this time...and that cutie patootie in your picture.
    Wishing you and your family a celebratory and loving weekend.
    Kind Regards
    Joyce
    P.S. That word 'Damn'...
    Well,if Mom or Grandma was still alive I would be takin' a big bite out of the 'Lifeboy' soap :o)
