Hi - looks like a nice soda recipe - I will try it :) Anyway, I have another question... My son's birthday is August 1st - I'm going to bake him a cake, although I don't usually bake... I always have good luck with Shirley's recipes though. Does Shirley have a fave cake recipe? Can you please tell me which is Shirley's personal favorite cake and frosting recipe? There are so many, and they all look good, I just want to know which one she is partial too... I may serve the soda on his birthday as well! Also, does Shirley have a favorite brand of coffee?
Favorite cake recipe is the very first recipe we ever posted (#1 - Chocolate Cake by Aunt Florence). It has the recipe for the cake AND the chocolate frosting on the same page. No matter how many cakes we've made through the years, we always come back to that one. Make sure to make the cake in an aluminum cake pan, and NOT in a glass baking dish. Favorite brand of coffee is Maxwell House.
