My uncle used to make this Mayonise cake(it's what he called it) and it was a heavy rich chocolate cake that had marchino cherries and sliver of almonds in it..... it was sooooo good, served with a scoop of vanillia ice cream topped it off. Unfortnatly he didn't like sharing his recipes so when he passed most of his recipes went with him.(He was a cook and didn't have many recipes written down.... they were all in his head.)

My fav festivises is Christmas.... so many good memories of family setting up the tree, pine scents and cinnomon smells, family from everywhere coming to the house.... now due to covid and family dwindling down and certain family members being butts, it's still my fav time, but not as much.
