That is one of the old recipes with WAYYYY too much sugar. I'd like to see it redone with less sugar. Using butter for the shortening would give it a lot of flavor, and you wouldn't need all that sugar.

Sounds delicious. I am going to make it exactly as you say - 30 year recommendation sounds good to me. A special treat once in awhile is fine for me.

could this go in a bunt pan

GlendaM

Yes, as long as it is large enough. I make it in bread pans and freeze them too!
