It is Happy Friday. Texas is in the middle of a bitter cold spell. The 14 degree weather seems to have put a cloud over my happy go lucky Friday plans. Give me a bit of time and I will make new plans for the day, taking advantage of an "inside" day.
Yesterday morning was spent at the Dr's office. A complete annual exam. Giving a gallon of blood for a dozen tests, and making appointments for mammogram & bone density X rays.
After THE Dr's visit, I came home and baked. This is a simple cake, but perfect in many ways. Moist, tasty, easy and popular! In my recipe box, this recipe is filed under, Tolbert Comfort Food.
