Sorry to say, but the lady did not win the grand prize. Her entry was one of 100! Naturally using Pillsbury Flour.
The cook-off was held at the
Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York CITY,N.Y..
This recipe is from her Swedish Grandmother Nerda.
Her children calls it Nana's cake!
I found this recipe, story and picture in a Reminisce Magazine fall of 2011. I saved it... and found it again, in my clipped recipe file !
Lucky me! Now lucky you!
