Those Crazy Cake Recipes

By Brenda Hyde
They have been passed around for years on recipe cards, in letters or scribbled on napkins and cash register receipts. Those cakes with the strange names and a million variations. I am sharing a few of them that I picked up along the way. I thought we all might enjoy seeing in one place. Feel free to print out and pass along, after all, it beats writing on that stained napkin.
