Innkeeper: Susan Van Why
Welcome to The Minnie Victoria B&B. The Minnie Victoria was established in 2000 by Carol Landis. I was fortunate to purchase The Minnie V in 2004 and she is not only a bed and breakfast but my home. My career has been in Human Resources but I have always had the "dream" to own a bed and breakfast. Since 2004, I can actually say that I am living my dream!
I want all of my guests to feel at home at The Minnie Victoria as they are very special and are treated as such. They are guests in my home and I want everyone to feel welcome.
I will be updating my website often with specials and requested recipes. Oh, did I mention that I love to cook and bake?
Hope to see you soon!

Many of you have asked for recipes. I will start adding recipes to this site often. Here is the recipe for The Cake That Doesn't Last.
The Cake That Doesn’t Last
3 cups flour 3 eggs
2 cups sugar 1 ½ cups vegetable oil
1 tsp baking soda 1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp salt One 8 oz can crushed pineapple (drained)
1 tsp cinnamon 2 cups mashed ripe bananas
1 cup chopped walnuts (if desired)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 10 inch Bundt pan.
In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add in the well your eggs, oil, vanilla, pineapple, mashed bananas and chopped walnuts. Mix well and pour into prepared pan.
Bake in preheated oven for 75 minutes (my oven only takes 55-60 minutes) or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
Enjoy!
