I married into a family of great cooks and one being my husbands Grandmother. She was only about 4' tall, don't know how she reached the counters. This cake was her legand. I have never successfully made it like "Grandmother" and probably never will. Grandmother has passed and her cake has only appeared one time since. My husbands sister n law can master Grandmother's cake. I will keep trying. One day maybe I can come close to bringing back her legand.
