I’ve been nostalgic lately for recipes that are from my Mom and Zias. This is one that never had a formal recipe, it was always made by feel and with lots of love. I have recreated it, with my own spin on it to include more protein (sour dough starter or yogurt, added ground almonds and oat flour), and I it tastes just like I remember it! It makes me smile to think of the memories that this cake evokes!
