All this stuff sounds so yummy, but I don't bake much anymore. But I do still eat, friends. Hint, hint;-)

Ida THUNK it, CouldB! I still want some of that cake!

But...does cooking in a microwave count as baking? If not...I got no answer. LOL!

HEHE - GREAT WAY TO CHEAT FOR YOU...

Philadelphia cream cheese has this really cool thing - a BUCKET OF CREAM CHEESE FILLING!!! All you have to do is put it in a PRE MADE gram cracker pie shell - and VwaLaa - CHEESECAKE!!! Like fruit - put a can of cherry, strawberry or blueberry pie filling on top - OR - some fresh fruit!!!

This stuff is Delicious!!!

I am not much of a baker...but I make a mean sweet potatoe pie. My family and friends fight over it during the holiday season. Only thing I really good at baking.
I love strawberry shortcake and rum cake but can't bake neither. :(

final step
sift flour add to mixture,when my grandmother made this she sifted this 3 times but i dont sift it and have had good luck with this.pour batter into a greased and floured bundt cake or angel food cake pan.bake at 350 degrees for 45 min to 1 hr,temperatures and ovens vary so you may have to alter temp or time.do the toothpick test to check for doneness.
*dont walk heavy when this cake is baking it is really touchy*
good luck!!
