Notes
I got this recipe from a friend, Barbara Rogers, who was in her early 70's and it was her Grandmother's recipe....so it's OLD!! I always get rave reviews on this one. It's especially popular when I pour it into a bundt pan and bake it in a 12" Dutch Oven. I usually place 12 coals on top and bottom and then just watch it. However it's equally good baked in either a 9x13 or even a jelly roll pan.
