Thanks Deni. I have a wonderful lady to thank for giving me her recipe. It`s great when a good tasting recipe reminds us of someone special.I think of her eveytime I make it.
thanks for stopping by.
 
Thanks bvicki. It sound delicious. I have already printed it off so i won`t lose it.
Wish i had the sweet potatoes so i could make it right now.
I love sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes, apple salad, lots of dressing, mashed potatoes with either butter or chicken gravy, and don`t forget the fingerrolls. Now thats all it takes to make me happy at Thanksgiving. Gee, not too smart to be tempting myself this way.
 
Vicki, sorry for the b in front of your name. Just my crocked fingers hitting both the v and b keys at once.
Thanks again. I do appreciate your leaving me your recipe. real nice of you. Have a nice day.
 
Please Dot, what is 'oleo'? Also do yu think I could substitute stewed fresh pineapple?
 
Sue, oleo is just another name for Margarine. It used to be called oleo margarine and just got shortened to oleo. In other words it is a substitution for real butter. Hope this helps. I used the country crock Shredd`s spread which is 53 percent vegetable oil. I have to watch my cholesteral and there is no cholesterol in this one. I never thought to ask my cousin what type of margarine she used, but I think most any kind should be ok.
As for using stewed fresh pineapple, if the consistency is about the same I would think it would work, but I must say that I haven`t tried it to be sure. 20 ounces should be about 2 1/2 cups full. If you try the fresh stewed pineapple, let me know how it turned out. This cake batter doesn`t resemble most batters as it looks mushier. Not sure exactly how to describe the batter, it just looks a bit different.
I just noticed I have the word sugar spelled wrong in the recipe. I have 2 cups of sugatr and it should have been 2 cups sugar. I am sorry about that. Hope everyone knew what I meant.
Well, I better get off the comp soon as i am leaving today around 1pm and will be gone for the week-end.' Have a nice week-end.
