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!!
What a thrill to find this recipe and especially the scanned copy, because then I knew it was the recipe I had used years ago. This recipe was on the Pillsbury flour in the late 60’s or early 70’s.
I have had this recipe for years and had not made it since I copied it into my recipe book. As I was making it I realized I had not included eggs in the recipe. I added three as a guess and then headed to the PC to see if I could find the recipe. I was right on. This is one fantastic cake. The only thing I did different was to use apple cider in the glaze along with a little vanilla.
I made this cake years ago when it was on the Pillsbury flour bag. I lost the recipe. This cake was one of my favorites. My family loved it. This will be on my Thanksgiving menu.
Thank you… I am so grateful that you posted this recipe, especially with the old cut-out that I somehow misplaced. I’ve been looking all over for this old favorite!
My oldest daughter remembered having this cake when she was in the 5th grade and has been asking for it. I remembered cutting out the recipe from the flour bag and knew it was the right one when asked to make it for her birthday. She thought it was on a Barlow’s recipe card but I knew it was on a flour bag. Thanks for copying it because I lost my copy.
I still have that copy, my husband loved it
I’ve been making this
Cake for a very long time. Its a very delicious and easy recipe. I changed it by making it with all white flour; no problem. I still have the recipe cut out from the flour bag. So glad to see it on your cite.
