When I saw this recipe, I knew I had to try it. My mother's house sits along the Ohio River. My husband and I joked about how if they knew what was really on the bottom of that river they would never want to eat this. I loved how easy this was to make and how interesting the technique was. The "sludge" at the bottom was the best part. I'll be making this again for all our family in Ohio.

Baked this one tonight for supper. Something I found out about menu planning was that when a heavy type main dish is served ( pork ribs, country style) a "lite' desert is jus the thing. This cake is just the thing. I found it a "not overhelming" taste. Not heavy on th sugar either. I ate mine plain from a custard dish. The cake part is light and fluffy... I'll do this again for sure! Thank's Rockstar!
