Yellow Cake with Brown Sugar Icing
It had been years since I'd thought about this cake. Mom had taught me to make it when I was young, but over the years the memory of it faded to the far recesses of my brain. Recently I wanted to make an easy dessert for company, and the memory came rushing back. Did I still have the rcipe?  
Yes and no. After  bit of search, I found my recipe for the cake itself, but not the icing. Google came to the rescue!  "Coconut Brown Sugar Icing," just like mom taught me to make. Easy and delicious. Try it and your're not likely to forget it any time soon.

6. Mix all of the ingredients together and pour into the baking pan.
7. Bake for about 30 minutes. It will be done when a toothpick comes out clean.

    Linda M. Kurth is the creative mind behind such stories as the romance, Home of the Heart, and her  memoir, God, the Devil and Divorce, as well as the recipes and crafts you'll find in these pages. Here's how this blog began:
    ​
    "This chicken salad is fabulous" my writer friends told me at our little luncheon. "We want the recipe."

    "I've been thinking of starting a recipe blog," I said. "This will be the first dish on it. Will that work for you?"

    "Do it!" they urged. 

    I've thought about creating a cookbook for years, but with all of my other activities, I realize that's not going to happen in the traditional sense. So I'm happy to have this venue to share my favorite dishes and discoveries. I hope you'll find some dishes here that become some of your favorites too.
