I have a scratch recipe for the Spanish Bar Cake that included one tablespoon of cocoa. This gives the cake a distinctive dark coloring, yet does not give it a chocolate taste.I love cream cheese on cakes; however the original had a traditional buttercream icing. I played with a white Crisco icing with marshmallow cream., and it was excellent. Guess I will have to make one for my husband today as we both have sweet memories of the ols A and P and this cake.
