Contributor: “Favorite Recipes of California Winemakers”
This is a recipe that has been around for many years. I came across it again while browsing through some local Santa Cruz County cookbooks for a nice dessert for Valentine’s Day. I found the same recipe submitted by several local cooks such as Antoinette Knego, Ida Lomazzi, Jackie Minasian and Mary Galardeni. My own version of this recipe came from the “Favorite Recipes of California Winemakers” published in the 1960s by the Wine Advisory Board of California.
The cake has a light, spongy, pound-cake like texture. It’s an easy and delicious recipe, one that will bring a smile to the face of your Valentine. Enjoy
