Mushroom Canapés

A canapé (French: [kanape]) is a type of hors d’oeuvre, a small, prepared, and often decorative food, consisting of a small piece of bread (sometimes toasted), puff pastry, or a cracker wrapped or topped with some savoury food, held in the fingers and often eaten in one bite.

Italian Love Cake

I am going to be honest here- I have never heard of the Italian Love Cake until I found this recipe card in a random recipe box that I found at Amvets. Should we tell Candy Rinaldo that the card she so nicely wrote out ended up at the thrift?
I did find some random websites that claimed that this cake was “made famous” by Mario Batali but this card appears to date before he made it famous. Who knows. It does look super-rich and sweet though.
