There is a bakery on Grant Avenue and Roosevelt Boulevard in the Grant Plaza II shopping center. Named Hutchinson's Classic Bakery. Out of all the bakeries around now their BUTTER CAKE is the closest of the ones you could get in the 50's and 60's before all of the really great bakeries went out of business. I'd offer to send you some, but it just doesn't pack well.
