GRANDMA RILEY'S BANANA CAKE
This favorite recipe has been passed down through my husband's family. His grandmother wrote this out for me shortly after we were married. She copied it from a recipe that her mother had written out for her many years before. These handwritten treasures in my recipe box bring back so many fond memories. -Jamie Dunn, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
