Cottage cake like Grandma used to make
Q. First I want you to know how much I enjoy your column and look forward to it each week. You have often stated that family recipes should be gathered and treasured, you are so right. I am 76, and my grandmother made a very simple cake that she topped with a lemon sauce. The sauce is easy to replicate, but I have never found a recipe for the cake that matches hers. it was usually baked in a square pan and had a coarser texture than the average cake, but there was not corn meal in it.
