This very rich, moist cake is a childhood favorite recipe submitted by a shore lover who lives in Summit.
Everything for the batter, including the secret "mystery" ingredient, gets stirred up by hand in one bowl. We baked in an 8 X 8 but it can also be baked in a loaf pan. While it bakes, whip up the simple cream cheese frosting.
​We followed Clinton and Mario's advice from The Chew and took a bite (and of course dropped a crumb) before we took the finished pic--but who wanted to wait anyway? This cake is so flavorful, rich and moist it tastes like the cake Grandma used to make before mixes were invented. The complete recipe will appear in the Savoring the Shore cookbook to benefit Sandy relief.
