Sounds like a recipe for me - thanks.
I feel like making one and sending it to you:)
Amazing how recipes morph..............
I know, now I'm obligated to dig up my moms cookbook and see how the real thing is done, I've only made it once and had people comment on it ten years later.
For one thing the serious ingredient lacking is what is called Cherry Brandy, dark cherries and no - definitely no cake mix.
But, I agree the recipe you gave sounds good, deceivingly so.:) It's just that I know better - TEN anyway:)
