Treasure lost and found!January 01, 2008By theleopardldy
"I made this cake many years ago (or a similar version) and had lost the recipe. When I found this one I was thrilled -and it was just as I had remembered it from the 70's- moist and absolutely yummy! I'll pass this one on to my daughter-in-law since my son loved it when he was little and still will now, I'm sure."
