Black walnut is an not acquired taste. I believe you're born either loving it or hating it (much like Auburn and Alabama). Caney, sweet husband of my friend Cheryl, loves it. Not so much so for me, but I am happy to bake for him. You see, my friend is going through round 3 with the "nasty C". She deserves a medal. Caney deserves a cake. So, there you have it! Baked and ready for delivery. I hope it will bring even the smallest smile to his face. And I hope he'll share with Cheryl!
