"I got this recipe over 40 yrs ago from a Fleischmann's Yeast Cookbook, The section is called "Rising on Ice" I love it because I do all the work the day or several hours before and just bake it when I want it really fresh & warm from the oven!"

Made this last night, baked this morning to take to work with me. It turned out really pretty. I put it in the lounge, I got really busy and never got a chance to get any. By the time I got down there it was all gone! I guess it was good. Although the ing listed eggs, the directions never told when to add and while I was reading the directions the eggs never got added. It was good without I guess. Thanks
