  1. old dinasour REVIEW:

    I have used this recipe for @ least 10 yrs with variations. I add 1 c applesauce to the batter when I add the jam. I usually use home-made jam which changes the texture of the batter & I also live in a high altitude then I add an additional 8-10 min baking time. This makes the cake more moist and it doesn't "dry out" as quickly. gk Bostic NC
