Allan's mother made this every year for Thanksgiving when Allan was young. She stopped making it when she quit hosting Thanksgiving dinner. We started hosting Thanksgiving when she stopped and for several years she didn’t make it. One year Allan mentioned that it had been one of his favorite memories of Thanksgiving. She brought it every year after that.it is made in loaf pans and is really more of a bread than a cake.
