Old-Fashioned Brown Sugar Cake
Not sure where this brown sugar cake recipe came from. My mom passed it to me many years ago. We use it as a great holiday favorite, but I usually sneak it in a couple of times a year. It's a great treat to bring to a party or work. The brown sugar and almond extract give it a distinctive taste.
