Granny Cake Recipes

If you love pineapple upside-down cake this Granny Cake is a different take with similar ingredients.  It's looks great too with the brown sugar and pecans on top of the cake. 

It's a very simple cake recipe to make and is a great cake for beginners to try.  Just remember to collect all of your ingredients together before you get started and have the right cake pans on hand.  Having everything you need adds to the enjoyment of cooking and helps the recipe come out as it should.

I am not sure where Granny Cake originated, it was among my grandmother's recipes, so we hope you like it.
