Recipe Notes

It is hard to know if this should really be called a cake, but it has historically been called a cake, so it is a cake, even if it is fried. This desert appeals to children of all ages, it is a homey, and homely, classic ~ attractive in its own strange way, and very tasty. I have seen it served with whipped cream and fruit toppings, so let your imagination run wild with the toppings. This is a Pennsylvania-Dutch recipe, and was printed in the food section of the September 25, 1986 Austin American-Statesman. This recipe was credited to Laura Worm, Louise Lightsey, and Jeanene Demel.
