Christine's Notes:

Another recipe from the old church cookbook mom put together. This can be done with any flavor cake mix and jello, and you can change the juice in the glaze to suit the flavors you choose for the cake. This recipe was from Alice Hunsucker. Enjoy!

Note: Photo is borrowed from the internet.

No, I haven't, but I think it would be fine. You may need to adjust the cooking time, but other than that, I don't see why you couldn't. If you try it, let me know hwo it works for you.

Sounds like a wonderful Springtime cake! i love church cookbooks. My Husband's family, the Fords and the Martins, all lived in your area. My father-in-law was the pastor of the First United Methodist Church in Tulare. They had a great cookbook also. Where is your cookbook from?

My mother did this cookbook when I was about 9 (around 1980), for the First Assembly of God in Farmersville. There was a Barbara Martin there. I posted some of her recipes. I wonder if you're related?

I can't remember a Barbara but I will ask. I still think you could reprint the old book and sell them again for a fund raiser ! The recipes and your stories are wonderful ! I can't wait to try them! God bless those sweet angels!

Maybe, but I did a church cookbook a few years because everyone kept saying they wanted one with everyone's recipes, then, after ALLLLL that work, very few actually bought them! We had sooooo many left that eventually they were selling them for $3.00 just to get rid of them, and people still weren't buying them! What I learned was, very few people actually cook anymore, and even less from scratch! The few people who contributed recipes bought books, other than that, not so much. So, I don't know that I'll do that again. It was SOOO much work! One of the women later put together a cookbook of all her family recipes for her kids and couldn't believe how much work it was. Yeah...they are WORK! LOL And the one my mom did, since it was on an old typewriter, would have to be completely redone. Lots of typos and nothing is in alphabetical order, just random placement within each section. I'll stick to posting them here. Maybe when I'm done I'll make a cookbook of those recipes...or two or three, since only 50 fit in a cookbook here. Otherwise, I have no interest in doing that again! LOL
