The Family Birthday Cake
This is a family secret! I had to twist mom's arm to share this recipe with you! My late Grandma (dad's mom) used to make this cake for my dad's birthday every year. When my parents married, my Grandma taught my mother the recipe.
My mom made this cake for my birthday. I posted the photo on social media, which prompted multiple requests for mom to share this recipe.
It's not the typical recipe I post on my website. Normally my recipes are high in protein and low in sugar. But, if you are following my Fat Loss Fast System, this recipe would be great for your daily discretionary calories. Furthermore, it's surprisingly low in calories!

So, I’ve been sick all week & had to wait to try my hand @ Mom’s cake. ;))
The baker in me wouldn’t let me make a box cake, so I changed it up a bit ;))
I layered it with Angel & Devil’s cake & added Fresh Strawberries to the middle 😉
A little extra calories…. But I used Apple sauce instead of oil & egg whites instead of the whole egg. I’ll post a pic later today.
Thanks to Mom Solomon for this super recipe, can’t wait to eat some ;))

Second times the charm ;))
