Lynne, Then you are probably familiar with the Tacony Palmyra Bridge? Camden, NJ?... Rt 73 which is Cottman Ave in Philly?...Five Points? 6/25/12

Then there's the Ben Franklin and the Walt Whitman Bridges.... Brings back some memories for me.

Wow! Thanks Lisa and Rose! I was so pleased with how it came out. I was a little unsure about the syrup part, but I looked up some cake syrup recipes online to get more details. You have to boil the sugar solution first, and then take it off the heat and let it cool. It gets thicker as it rests. I only needed half of the syrup called for in the recipe. I found out that a lot of bakeries brush their cake layers with simple syrup to keep them moist. I never knew about that trick, an it works. I kept the cake stored in the fridge, and it's still so moist and flavorful today.

Rose: How cool is that!? I actually live over the bridge in NJ now, but my home is always in Philly. I'm originally from there, and spend a lot of time in the city.

Thanks Rose! This was my first attempt at a recipe from justapinch. The cake is so moist and scrumptious.
