Just FYI, this recipe was a winner in the 1963 Pillsbury Bake Off, developed by a lady named Imogene from Paramount, California. I still have the original newspaper with the recipe printed.

Well, I'd have to say that I was very surprised to find this recipe already on Recipezaar! I was curious as to whether my grandma made it up or not. But, no, this recipe is word for word, just like my grandma's recipe she has used since the 70's as well! You beat me to the punch posting it, but nonetheless, it deserves to be posted--and you're right-on, it's our favorite dessert, too! This is what I request for my birthday in lieu of cake every year. Thank you for posting for all to see! God bless!

Wow! What a star! Love the combination of cake & cheesecake. I'd like to see the cheesecake topping a little thicker, but, believe me, I am not complaining! Thnx for posting your recipe, Nancy. Made for PAC Spring 2010. You've been adopted! http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewtopic.zsp?t=327498&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

My aunt asked me to find this recipe and bake it for Thanksgiving. I knew I would find it here! Topped with fresh berries and glazed the entire cake. It was perfect! Thank you for sharing.
