Happy Birthday!

Baby Rose Marie turns 93 today.

That calls for a cake:

Rose Marie's Dream Cake

1/2 cup Crisco

1/2 cup butter

1/2 cup brown sugar

2 cups flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 eggs

1 cup white sugar

1 cup walnuts, broken in pieces

1 can coconut

Cream butter and Crisco. Add brown sugar. Add flour and salt. Mix well.

Press dough into a jellyroll pan or shallow baking dish and bake in 325 degree over for 15 minutes.

While this is baking, beat the 2 eggs and 1 cup of white sugar in mixmaster. Folks in 1 cup of broken walnut pieces. Spread this mixture over entire top of cake and sprinkle top with 1 can of coconut.

Bake another 15 minutes 'till brown on top.

Allow to cool and cut into squares. Serves many!

"this was Lucille Ball's favorite dessert. Rose Marie always fixed it when Lucy and Desi came over for dinner"

Happy Birthday!
