Mo' Cake Recipe
Tuesday, January 16, 2007

Late for the holidays, early for the cake season: this recipe is famous; it's priceless. Evidently I couldn't pronounce "more" when I was 2. So sue me. Better still, sue Uncle Skip, that wise ass.
Just remember: when they call for eggs, they means eggs with no shells. (Did I mention that a strong point of my family is its ability to pick on family members??)
Oma used to make a Mo' Cake for me during college, at exam time. Dead week, it was called. I would subsist on nothing but Mo' Cake and coffee. At least for freshman year. After that, apparently, I was on my own for "finals food." I still can talk her into baking one of these from time to time, but nothing beats the last 2 slices of Oma's Mo' Cake. Really, it's the only cake that gets softer and more moist with time.
