mneme, I'm so glad you are feeling happy today. I can remember what it felt like when I first had a very empty nest.

Hello dear lady, thank you so much for suggesting you may be able to do this. I do appreciate it. I left it on my post but thought if you don't mind I would bring it here. Glad you're having a happy day. If you want of course you can delete it. It is space consuming.
MAMA'S JAM CAKE: Thanks for the offer. I hope you can. It is a devil-food sort of flavor base, it is a heavy cake not light and fluffy. It has raisins, walnuts, blackberry jam, spices like allspice, nutmeg, and a touch of Cinnamon I know and I am guessing it was made with lots of butter and brown sugar it has that under current of caramel too. It is made in a bunt sort of pan and cheese cloth soaked in brandy or rum was stuffed into the whole and covered the cake for two weeks before frosting and presenting it for serving.
The frosting is a hard sugar, spices and water sort of flavor and is not added until the night before serving. Just before it sets walnut halves cover the cake.

I think you are regaining your balance, mneme. Stress has receded as you've
made plans...decisions...gotten more used to your fledglings leaving the nest. When we are in balance, not even the adversity in the world can tip us over. Happy ia a good place to be...I have experienced a feeling of peace and well-being from reading this...I am happy for you.
