Panamanian Wedding Cake
Following up on an earlier post about a St. Thomas charoset recipe, here is an article on salon.com written by my daughter Sarah about the family recipe(s) for Panamanian wedding cake.
Sarah - your essay is the sweetest thing I've read in a long time. I could smell the brandy right through the blog! Enjoy the wedding, and toast to Emita from your cyber-family.
I bake a mean black cake, otherwise known as Christmas cake or Grooms cake. Straight from the Caribbean...my husband is Gyanese. This cake and a strong cup of coffee and you are in heaven.Sounds similar. I'll send you the recipe.
Family traditions are a wonderful thing. Connecting to our roots..magical!
her descriptions of her cake baking experience definitely made me hungry!
best line of the article: I smiled to think of my dad in his maroon, bell-bottom groom's suit and my mother with ironed-straight hair down to her waist.
