My granny would have loved this recipe. Papaw loved angelfood cake and granny said the worst part of making one was trying to find ways to use up a dozen egg yokes! 😁

[@Jacksonsjob]

Right?!? This is where this recipe came from, actually. Trying to figure out what to do with a dozen egg yolks all at once. No one wants to roll out 12 cups of homemade noodles. 😅

@@Jacksonsjob macaroni is the only pasta I ever remember my grandparents eating. Macaroni salad or macaroni & cheese. Oh and she sometimes added its to vegetable soup especially if it was short on meat. I don't remember them ever eating anything with a tomato sauce i.e. spaghetti, lasagna nor fettuccine or ravioli...🤔

We ate either homemade noodles that are super thick or macaroni with stewed tomatoes. 😳😬 And they cooked it so long it straightened out the elbow. I was in my teens before I first ate and fell in love with Italian food.

@@Jacksonsjob l love macaroni and stewed tomatoes! My grandparents never ate it but my best friend's family ate it all then time. They called it, macaronis and tamaters. At their house, I first heard the words poke and carry used in a way I had never heard before moving down the road from them. "They carried me to the store and I got 3 pokes of groceries." You don't hear that anymore. I kind of miss it. 😊

[@Jacksonsjob]

Poke meant sallet greens and bags growing up for us, too. We said maters as it was too much work to say tomater. 🤣 Maters 🍅🍅🍅taters 🥔🥔🥔 and unyuns. 🧅🧅🧅 And greens was pretty much anything leafy from lettuce to spinach. 😂

Made this Gluten-free and added lemon zest and poppy seeds and ot turned out great!

[@Jacksonsjob]

That sounds wonderful! How much poppy seeds did you add? I will have to try this myself. It is great to hear this recipe works well with gluten-free flour. I will have to share that in the notes! Thank you. 😊

[@davearmold835]

If I had to guess, I would say 3 tablespoons. It's safe this can be made with gluten-free flour and dairy-free butter. Still moist and delicious the next day.

[@Jacksonsjob]

I’m going to try this in a few days. I plan to make some macarons and wanted to use up a bunch of egg yolks, so this will be perfect. Thanks so much for the amount! I should start putting in the recipes dairy-free butter and margarines work well. I personally don’t eat butter and always substitute when I’m planning to eat something I bake.

My mother made sticky icing a lot growing up. But I never knew what to do with the egg yokes. 😂 Strawberries makes an amazing topping…or in the middle part is even better.

[@Jacksonsjob]

Haha, same here! This cake is really rich but most people seem to enjoy it, especially those that are a fan of yellow cake. I know the icing you are speaking of that your mom would make. It's wonderful! Now I want this cake with your mom's recipe and strawberries! 😆

I love it already

Thank you!

Who cares what it looks, what it taste like is the most important! 😋

You’ll only learn flavor from me, not presentation. 😳🥺🤣😄

I can bake great tasting cakes but can't decorate them either.

@@Jacksonsjob 🥰. No one has ever complained about how they taste anyway, lol! But yes, we will call our Club the Best/worst looking cake You Ever Loved!😂🤣😂

Right? 😋 Have a great evening, Simsane! It was a pleasure chatting with you. 😊

If people are too finicky get out of the kitchen.

[@Jacksonsjob]

Haha, ironically I am one of the most picky eaters you’ll meet. It’s why I started baking. I’m staying in the kitchen. 🤣🤪☺️
