Twice this week we made my Mother's Finnish recipe for Old World Fresh Apple Butter Cake. Click on the title above and you'll find the recipe from a post I made last year.
This year one of our sons helped his Dad make this as a bundt cake for my birthday. We visited the place I first had my birthday cake during harvest time and ate my birthday cake there.
Notice the white icing on it?
Well, when I was 3 my Mother made me a beautiful white cake with white frosting and took it out to the field to share
with the workers.
When my Dad brought the combine to a stop,
the white cake was suddenly a "chocolate" (dusty) cake!! After that, my birthday cakes became bundt cakes. This one is a favorite of mine. I had to laugh when he put a white glaze on it because we were in the spud field after all. Thankfully, this year, it had already been harvested there and we avoided the "chocolate".
Then then we went to the spud cellars and delivered mini bundt cakes they'd made to the Harvest workers.
Then I made them for the Young Women's activity where we deliver a treat one day of harvest to the other Young Women who are working in the Potato Harvest.
I just love the memories, smell, sight, sound and touch of "Spud Harvest"!
