I've been making this cake for years, using the identical recipe that I cut out of the Readers Digest a long time ago. My copy was getting pretty worn so I searched for it online to print and was delighted to find this! This makes a delicious cake that people simply rave over. My special touch is to drizzle it with a vanilla glaze, not a lot, just enough to make pretty designs all over the top and run down the sides. If you make it ahead of time, refrigerate the cake because the cream cheese filling can spoil (this happened to me once on a camping trip!) Refrigerate leftovers for the same reason.
