  1. This is a Taste of Home recipe from the early 90's. I have cooked this cake many, many times. It is keeps beautifully. If you make ahead, don't make the whipped cream topping until day you serve & chop the nuts fine or you will have trouble cutting... just like I did in front of 44 people.

What can I say about myself that hasn't already been mentioned in the police reports? Just kidding! I'm a single guy who loves to cook! Good thing, or I'd starve or go broke eating out! I love to read, horror and mysteries are my favorite. Love music, (except rap) and I'm a huge Green Bay Packer Fan!
