I got this recipe from my mother in law who got it from her mother in law. It is soooo good.
Note with the baking time…. Sometimes it doesn’t take as long and sometimes it seems to take a little more time. I always start watching it closely after about 45 mintues. I have baked this in several different types of pans as well, you just have to watch them closer to tell when they are done.
