I'm going to make a magic cake!

As I was going through some stuff at my moms, I came across a box of old books and took them home. I finally got a chance to go through and check them out. As it turns out one of the books was a journal written by my great great grandmother. It was very old and the pages were falling apart. Most of it was written in Spanish and was difficult to read. I used google translate to help me with some of the words.

It was the most interesting thing I have found out about my family yet. Apparently when my great great grandmother was little she was captured by pirates and spent a little more than a year working as slave labor in the galley of a commandeered Spanish gallon before the pirates dumped her off at a convent. She mainly worked with an older lady who was a real life voodoo priestess. The priestess could have escaped at any time, her magic was so powerful but she was in love with the pirate captain. There was a lot of stuff about day to day life and a lot of the recipes that the old voodoo lady taught her. All different recipes, ones for growing hair, make you fall in love,cause a storm to brew, a lot of magical stuff, some of which looked like they'd be pretty good to eat.

  

One, I'm planning on making. It's a cake. My great great grandmother said that one bite of the cake was so good it would transport you to where the pirates treasure lay. So I copied the cake recipe down and into English and said the incantation that was with it and just as I finished saying the words the book burst into flames. Course Chris says I held the book too close to the candle he was burning and the fact that it was so old and dried up caused it to burn up like that. But it was quite a coincidence and it might have been voodoo that caused it to burn up. Either way I have the exact recipe for the one cake and the rest is all in my head.

The cake takes up to three months to make so... I will add the recipe after I make and taste it.
