 I spilled orange jello while trying to make a Cranberry-Orange Salad for the very first time. It was for Thanksgiving dinner. It was also the first time I’d ever cooked an entire meal for my mom and stepdad! Then there’s page 162- That page has a recipe for my favorite Apple Crisp. I’ve made it so many times that I have it memorized. Good thing too, because the page is smudged and unreadable now.
And of course, there’s page 38 where this delicious, moist, bursting with blueberries cake recipe is located.
The recipe was submitted by a lovely lady named Della. Growing up in a small community means you get to know everyone pretty well. Della was the mother of one of the boys I went to school with.
Sadly, she passed away when her son and I were in high school.
Every time I make this cake I can’t help but be reminded of Della gathering her eight children that ranged in ages from mid-teens to babes, and rushing into the church right before the services began. She would gently push them into the back pew and hush them as the minister announced the first hymn.
This cookbook is filled with so many memories like that one. And every stain, including the blueberry one on this recipe, is yet another reason why I love it so much.

Just wanted you to know that I did make this cake and served it tonight to a group of ladies that I shared a devotional with. They loved it! I loved it too! I used a bundt pan instead of a tube pan and it worked well. Definitely a keeper and will make again. Thanks again for sharing!
