Fabulously Retro Cake |
Recipe from Mom’s Best Desserts
Among my earliest childhood memories are the wonderful
desserts that my long-gone mother made. It’s hard to find some of these recipes
nowadays. How lucky I was to find Mom’s Best Desserts, a treasure trove of retro recipes, at the library. After
bookmarking 30 pages, I realized that I knew the second author,
Fran Raboff. A fantastic baker and chef, Fran used to bring me homemade treats
years ago when she studied sculpture in the community college art department
where I worked. “This is for you, not the students,” she would say.
Knowing her dessert expertise, I immediately bought the book. This cake tastes just like my mom’s.
