More from Penny

In Love’s Promise, one of the tender memories main male character, Silas McFadden, recalls is, as a young’un, making his Oma carrot cake for her birthday from her favorite recipe.

Big clumsy hands weren’t helpful when it came to cracking the eggs and scooping the batter into the pan. He’d opened the oven door at least twenty times in the course of the cake baking just to be sure he didn’t burn it. For if he did, there were no more ingredients.

The icing was runny, but Oma hadn’t minded. When she finally returned home, Silas had the cake waiting for her. She had cried, told him how much she loved him, and then together, they’d eaten the entire cake that evening.

I’d love to share with you Oma’s recipe, which in actuality, is a family recipe. 

Oma’s Carrot Cake

2 c. flour, sifted

2 c. sugar

2 tsp. soda

2 tsp. salt

1 Tbsp. cinnamon

Sift together the above ingredients and set aside.

3 c. grated carrots

4 eggs

1 ½ c. oil

Mix well 1 c. carrots with 1 egg and ½ c. of oil. Repeat twice and add extra egg with last mixing. Combine with dry ingredients. Mix well.

Pour into greased pan and bake at 350º for one hour. Cool. Frost if desired.

Interview with Penny

If you had to describe yourself in three words, what would they be? Hello, Gina! Thank you so much for having me as your guest. If I had to describe myself in three words, those would be loyal, compassionate, and an encourager.

What book is currently on your bedside table? The Bible is on my bedside table. I’m currently reading Ephesians.

Does one of the main characters hold a special place in your heart? If so, why? Great question. In Love’s Promise, that character would be main male character, Silas McFadden. Silas has held a special place in my heart since he starred as a secondary character in Dreams of the Heart. I knew he was a protector, godly, loyal, determined, and a man of integrity. But what was his background? What pain had he endured in his life? Why was he a former outlaw and what would he do if his previous friends decided to connect with him again?

I have waited two years for the good news that McKenna would have her own story, and I’m thrilled to share it with readers.

Thank you so much for having me as your guest today, Gina. It has been a pleasure being here. Have a wonderful week!
