“I obtained this recipe from an extinct lady who lived across the boulevard from me in a suburb of Johannesburg. All my down-home cake recipes flopped at that altitude (6,000 toes), unless she gave me this one. She’d lived there all her lifestyles. It is with out a doubt now now not devour, but whether at decrease or bigger altitudes, it’s continually worked for me — and it’s literally thrown collectively. I’m writing it down as she gave it to me.”
