I have cookbooks like that.. love them and still use them.. Love the sounds of this one!


This recipe sounds like it would make a nice cake to serve for the winter holidays or even sell in bake sales. I've used Pet Evap. Milk for years now and have never tried this recipe so it'll be fun to see how the cake comes out when I do make it! Thanks so much for sharing!


Love cherries and chocolate! :)

My mother always made a cake similar to this only she also added banana. It was the hit with all of the relatives at every vacation. Thanks for the memory. :)
