Good morning Nancy & Friends. I made a cake the other day and it is absolutely delicious. Still have some as there is just the 2 of us. I like to share but so many friends have left for the North that we have to eat it all ourselves?? I don't think it was posted by anyone in this group as I usually include the name and this had none.
