Lucy Maud Montgomery was not only an accomplished writer, she was also a great cook and neatly wrote her recipes in a ledger. This delicious moist cake from Marion (Webb) Laird appears on a well-worn page in the ledger. A selection of Montgomery's recipes, including this one, was published in Aunt Maud's Recipe Book (Moulin Publishing Limited, 1996), compiled by Elaine and Kelly Crawford, Marion's daughter and granddaughter, respectively. Marion's mother, Myrtle Macneill, was Montgomery's third cousin and she lived in the real-life Green Gables.
