Maybe Spanish Bar Cake in Pittsburgh was different? However, your recipe sounds like it will taste exactly how I remember. Must try it soon!

This is the link to the scratch recipe that was requested. I make icings with no recipe. I made a buttercream icing with white crisco and added marshmallow cream, and vanilla flavoring. It's your cake; cut it and stack it in a brick shape with two layers, or even make cupcakes.

Won't hurt you, but who's to say what will happen to your wt loss? LOL
Oh I hate you! I have a Nickles about 3 miles from me but I've never been in there because I don't eat bread etc anymore. Maybe I'll go in there just once and buy one of the cakes, just for investigative information, you understand. One cake won't hurt me, right?

But there is another recipe which is repeated on many websites in which 2 cups of raisins are cooked for 10 minutes in 4 cups of water and then drained and cooled, and the recipe calls for shortening or a combination of shortening and butter, and 4 cups of flour instead of 2 (and spices, soda, etc) and put in the same sized pan! Seems to me the resulting cake would be twice as thick as the gardenweb.com variation and now I'm as confused as ever!
