Salad Dressing Cake

The Great Cake Recipe Contest - Submission # 8

Beth (Shrugged) Writes:
I’m submitting this recipe on behalf of my mother. The following recipe was my grandmother’s. But my mother didn’t find it until after my grandmother had passed on. It takes a lot of work, most of it by hand, but the end result is surprisingly tasty. Don’t let the strange ingredient throw you off, this cake is moist and yummy. Enjoy!

How It All Began...

The idea of a book on cooking for single and busy parents honestly all began with an email a few years ago when someone was complaining to me that all the books they seem to see were junk books written by celebrities making much-ado-about-nothing. They went on to rant about the cook books that were being produced by Gourmet chefs and the like that had dishes which took a whole month's pay to create and needed like 10,000 pots - and they still never came out right.

I had kids to feed! And oh boy, can kids eat! I shrugged and let it go. Actually the whole subject did not interest me at the time. I was in the middle of getting some fiction WIP's together and working on my non-fiction book at the time " Three Weeks In Jenin ". Writing a cook-book was the furthest t
