Random Recipe: Maple Nut Angel Food Cake with Lime Filling

By Kevin Williams

This recipe comes to us from a Miriam Mast in the Amish settlement outside of Clare.  I've been to the Clare community and it is a pretty conservative community.  But friendly.  Wow, this recipe seems really unusual and delicious.  I typed it in exactly as she wrote it.  So if something is unclear, we don't have much else to go on.  Enjoy!
