Pig Eatin' Cake - Simple and amazingly tasty
-
My very first residence on my own was in a very old, three story brick apt. building. It had a Murphy bed, a Murphy ironing board and a Kelvinator refrigerator. The "freezer" was so small, it held two ice trays, a chicken and maybe a couple 12 oz cans of orange juice concentrate. Still, I finally had complete privacy, away from parents and grandparents… a few choice guys made their way up three flights of stairs to my Murphy bed... And it was really nice to walk 1/2 a block to work, though I had a car. Shirley N., the personnel secretary made this cake to welcome me to the office. She was close to retirement and when I casually mentioned my tiny Kelvinator, she told me her first apt. was when she was a newlywed in the 1940's and it had central refrigeration. Every Wed night, the apt. mgr. would turn off the compressor so that all the refrigerators in the building would begin to defrost. So if you forgot to prepare, Shirley said, everything would be floating in the vegetable bins Thursday morning.
Anyway, here now is the recipe, and the name according to Shirley, is because it is so good it is hard not to make a Pig of yourself.
