It’s no secret that we love sharing a good recipe or two, and today we’re sharing a family favorite.

Our sweet Gram made the most delicious mace cake, and it is the perfect springtime treat.  It’s fluffy, delicious, and all kinds of right.  Plus, making it always reminds us of one of our favorite people!

Family recipes are like all good “vintage” things.  They’re full of legacy, a little worn, and reminders of laughter and gathering.

… the perfect thing for a time in 2021 where we are all longing for time with people we love!
