Personal Notes:
The kids always said I did not make this as well as Gram. I sure tried, but apparently my Mom had the 'knack'. That being said, I know I am not a baker. My brother and I sure enjoyed this cake. I remember Mom making it often in Minocqua. You must have a well-seasoned 8 inch cast iron skillet! We still have my grandmother's!
