It sounds like you’re having fun. Say hi to Barbara Barnes if she’s still on duty!

I love simple cakes like this and the nutmeg sounds like a wonderful addition. Practically screams for a cup of tea.

Robyn – no, I didn’t reduce the butter.. usually I do, but I just didn’t want to mess with Miss Lewis. You could totally reduce it to 1/4 cup. And yes you grease the pan. (See line 1!)

Lisa- Yes I think the Wednesday Chef did too – there was a quite a flurry of reminisces about her around the anniversary(ies) of her death.

I just love that people used to make cake even on busy days. Those were the days!

Hope to see you out this way soon to promote Grazing. I ordered a review copy and I’ll be posting about it as soon as it arrives. : )

I think Molly over at Orangette blogged about this cake in the recent past. Must be a keeper if you both like it!

I keep missing you on the Eyeopener b/c my kids won’t keep quiet while you’re on! =(

Glad to hear you are on the mend!
