[@joannjohnson62]

I like this history you shared of this cake. Moist. Flavorful. Tasty. Thanks Jill.

My grandma gave me a cookbook too! I love your cookbook. I found your channel tonight & am so happy I found you! 💕

My aunt use to make Sally Lunn Rolls every Sunday. They were so good. This was when I was very young and I’m now 84.

I just saw your popcorn video and glad to see you both are healthy and still going. Keep up the good work.

Thanks, Donna! Glad you're watching

Missed you guys❤

[@Jill4Today]

Thank you so much!

What a surprise for me! This Sally Lunn is nothing like the one I grew up with in New Zealand. Ours was a plain sweetened dough with raisins or sultanas, pink icing with dessicated coconut thickly sprinkled. What a sea change, but the name was kept, and a bit of the history. Always interesting to see how recipes travel.

I know, crazy, huh? My recipe book has 4 different recipes for Sally Lunn.

[@macycharmin]

I've never heard of this, very interesting history also. It looks really good. It reminds me when my mother would have a neighbor over every so often for coffee and cake in the morning for some social time, I suppose after sending their kids off to school. I was probably 4 or 5 at the time.

What a wonder memory! I'm glad this cake reminds you of this special time

Looks wonderful. Diane printed the recipe and is going to make it this weekend

[@Jill4Today]

Very cool! I think you'll like it

My Mother used to make Sally Lunn when I was young. She never put a sweet topping on top and it looked more like a spoon bread.

[@Jill4Today]

Hi! When I was looking up this recipe in my mom's cookbook, there several versions. Some had yeast, so it was more like a bread. Others were similar to your mom's spoon bread style.

Oh cool…I have the same cookbook…. Found it long ago at Goodwill….I’ll have to look it up….. Martha Stewart did a video on baking a Sally Lunn years ago

[@Jill4Today]

I've never seen another one of the books. Good find on your part!

[@seano1642]

I wonder if EVOO would do?🥶 PS. Is lard shortening?😇

[@Jill4Today]

Lard is fat from cows or pigs. Shortening is a vegetable oil that is solidified with different chemicals so it looks and acts like lard

[@roxeyserckie5414]

Did you miss the vanilla?

[@Jill4Today]

Hi Roxey -- no, I didn't feel like it was missing vanilla. It is such a tasty cake. If I was to use it for a cake that I frosted I'd probably add 1 tsp of vanilla. And, I will most definitely bake this again without the topping and frost it with chocolate frosting.

[@Jill4Today]

Thank you!

It looks yummy! If you find a recipe for Mrs. Lovett meat pie, don’t make it. (Sweeney Todd ref) Take care…
