aunt laura's orange jello cake
(2 ratings)
Dr. Laura Bove Fernandez was an absolutely fabulous woman. She was my great aunt and I was named after her. The sister of my beloved Grandpa -- whom I called Baba -- she was born one of nine children yet she and Uncle Xavier were unable to have children of their own. Instead, gourmet cooking became their passion. They loved inviting guests to their home in Fort Myers & serving home made food. Though they had many complex recipes, this one was one of Aunt Laura's hallmarks that turned out to be quite simple. Always a crowd pleaser and you can sub in sugar free jello and try other types.
