  1. Sara shared some of Francis’ cake with me and I can tell you it melted in my mouth! (Which helped contribute to no photo). The texture was velvety smooth, the taste fantastic and it was baked to perfection. Many thanks for sharing the taste as well as the recipe.

  2. I was elated when Sara shared Frances’ incredible cake with me. Even more over-joyed when Frances shared the recipe. But the perfection lies in the baker;s touch.. I have tried different recipes in my lifetime but unless you possess the “baker’s anointing” which is what Frances obviously has it won’t taste as good as this delectable, delicious, blessed cake tastes.
    Thank you, Frances for your wonderful gifting and thank you Sara that you were not selfish and kept the glorious cake all to yourself.

  3. Love this cake! It’s great in am with coffee, pm with tea. And, lunch with pecans and whip cream. I can imagine in summer with strawberries. It really makes for an all delicious purpose cake. It shows beautifully as well! Well, that is the one Frances baked! Thanks, girl!
