But not just any cake, Seven Layer Cake!
(Served on the occasion of my grandfather's birthday.)
Okay, so I know what you're going to say... there are only 6 layers.
Apparently the 7th layer makes it too cumbersome to bake (ie. only 3 pans fit in the oven at a time, and the lonely single layer lost it's way over time).
Served with grapenut ice cream on grandmother's china, makes this a family favourite.
This cake also happens to be a Christmas tradition - on Christmas Day, we light a candle and sing Happy Birthday to Jesus. So, technically, it's Jesus's birthday cake.
