Notes

  • I recently let it be known that I would be posting my mother's cake recipe here. I have decided, since is a memory of her and her wonderful cooking, I am posting it to the biography / notes section on her page. Link: Lois Fern (Smith) Brown. It's still my favorite cake.
  • First, before you go there, cake made from scratch contains egg and oil. Mayonnaise is made from egg and oil. That being said, I didn't want anyone to go "Yuck!!" when they read the name of the cake.
