This is traditionally a family favorite at our house. Even though I have never seen a recipe in print call for it, I was raised to always put one teaspoon of cinnamon into the flour mixture before blending. That is was gives it that Tex/Mex zing. Read More

With last minute plans for a total of 7 coming to dinner, I had about 90 minutes to make a dessert large enough (and good enough) for all. Made this cake, but didn't have a jelly roll pan or any sour cream. SO...I used a large glass baking pan (approx. 10x15x2) and susbstituted 1/2 cup of vanilla yogurt plus one egg yolk for the sour cream. I also used butter instead of margarine. Cooked it for about 25 to 30 minutes, until toothpick in the center came out clean. I was afraid to spread the frosting on the hot cake but it was very easy and didn't rip the cake. This was BEYOND a hit with 4 teenagers, and the adults raved about how the icing "melting" into the top of the cake made it incredibly moist. Definitely a keeper for my chocolate craving dessert nights! Read More

I added 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon to cake with dry ingredients and 1 cup chopped nuts to icing before spreading over cake. Adding these ingredients made it more like the cake I use to make and it is always a big hit . I line my jellyroll pan with parchment paper which makes clean up easier and I cut with a pizza cutter . Very moist. Read More

Made this for my wife to take to work as nurses they sometimes need that little extra boost. Once a week there is a meal brought in from each nurse in her dept. So I made this and it was a hit along with another request from her co-workers. Read More
