company is here cake recipe.......

• when I was growing we had no pre warning of company unless they were someone who you had pre-invited- but folks would drop in now and then and no one minded .......
• so mother knew how to add another potato to the pot etc.
• most company did not come with supper or dinner on their mind
• but sometimes mother would invite them to stay for our next meal
• ------------if there was time she might make this quick cake
• I found this recipe that she often used - taken out of a magazine
• back during the war 2- this was a recipe used to save on eggs and sharing the sugar was a gift as sugar was rationed during the war--
