Ann Page, If I recall.... could have been Atlantic & Pacific

was a grocery store in the east years ago, its lost like Colonial stores, IGA( still some of those) and many more that were some good stores.

AAhhhh thank you tmw and Psychomomquilter!

I remember another spice cake that we used to get that sounds like this same recipe. It was from the bakery section and was about the size of a loaf of bread and had 3 layers. I LOVED that cake. I will make these - they sound like it.

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.
