Favorite Family Recipe - Applesauce Cake and Fruit Cake

I have another handwritten recipe for y'all today!  It's kinda funny just how happy it makes me to convert these cherished keepsakes into digital format.  There's a big goofy grin on my face thru all the scanning and editing.  ;-)

So, this recipe is from a sweet family friend my mom has known since their high school days.  I wish I had a photo to share of Nancy Sue.


My pretty Momma when she was in high school


Her Applesauce Cake is Handsome Husband's favorite.



You can see she wrote it down for me way back in 1991 and even explained how to make fruit cake with it.








 Can you tell these cards have been visited many times?  What are your favorite family recipes?

  2. Love the idea of doing this. Love the beautiful picture and the handwriting. I don't think I have many handwritten cards as I copied most that I wanted from others but now you have me thinking!

  12. Marci, what a treasure. How I'd love to have handwritten recipes from my mother and grandmothers. What I like about the recipe is the subtle use of spices; I don't like when the apple and raisin flavors are drowned out by too much spice.
