"Very nice old fashion type recipe. I added a crumb topping to the top. I used fresh picked blueberries and ate it warm with whipped topping. Fairly moist cake which has lasted into the next day nicely..." See more. Def. recommend the 8x8 pan as in the directions."

"I needed some breakfast cakes and used this recipe to accomplish that task. They were good tasting and made up quickly. I added cream cheese instead of the shortening and put a crumble on the top. ..." See moreI will use this again for a coffee cake next time. We shall see! :)"
