Mom died when I was 7. However, I remember her making this yummy cake for me, and sitting out on a blanket in the back yard to have a picnic with her. No matter how sick she got, spending time together was important and she always showed her love. This, being shared, was Mom's love (one recipe of it, that is!). She knew I loved this cake, and she made it for me often because of it. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
