I gotta thank my cute friend, Kate, for another super yummy recipe!  I’m lucky to have such awesome cooks as my friends… it’s so much fun to bounce ideas and trade recipes with all of them!  I believe this recipe was Kate’s grandmothers and has been in their family for many years!  I see more and more how recipes and cooking connect generations and keeps family traditions alive, you’ll be so happy with her Cherry Crumb Cake 🙂
