A request from Kathi McL
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if any of your readers might know a recipe for a cake that my grandmother used to make for our holidays (I saw the recipe for orange rum cake and I thought I'd ask.)
My grandmother was born in 1886 in rural Pennsylvania, near Philadelphia. She lived on a farm. She called her cake "Dutch cake," and it was a yellow, denser cake with raisins in it. She baked it in the oven in my mother's largest cast iron skillet, a number 9 or 10. It was a single layer, no frosting, very basic cake. If anyone has a recipe for a cake fitting that description, I would love to have it.
Thanks!

Hey Kathi, this is the one I'm sure. An aunt through marriage used to make it (she was from Penn.)
