Notes Having tried the recipe, the lady who took the photo, Mary Melfi, can vouch that it is easy to do, and the results are rather heavenly.... Micheline Di Gerolomo recalls that back in the old days (the 1950s) when her mother first came to Canada she did not own a "tube" pan (Few Italians did!), so to get the desired hole in the center of the cake, her mother placed a greased Mason glass jar in a regular cake pan. Apparently, this improvisation resulted in a nice-looking cake. It's very likely the late Mrs. Di Gerolomo learned this trick in Italy where few, if any cooks, living in the countryside, had access to specialty cookware. |
