Old family recipes

One thing that we should remember to record is old family recipes. I think everyone probably remembers that food that Grandma or Mom has made that as a kid we loved. In our family we have certain things that we always ate and learned to make from our relatives. I have several
and will share them once in awhile and this is the first. My mom use to bake this cake for my birthday all the time and I love it. It is one that is being passed down.
