How great! I just made this cake yesterday from a recipe I cut out when it first came out, and pasted in a notebook of recipes. I wanted to take a cake to friends’ home for dinner; everyone loved it. I hoped I could find the recipe on the Net so I wouldn’t have to copy it, and here it is!

WOW.I’ve been looking for this recipe for years…. and never gave up hope on finding it. I made it for several years in a row, it was a “must have” at my Thanksgiving Day table. I’m so glad to have it again, and I know I’ll have it once again, at least once or twice a year. I must have made it, the first time, when the recipe first was on the bag of flour. Its a wonderful cake for a family tradition!!
