Mom was such a great cook, that most of her recipes were just ingredients without directions, titles, etc. This was one she made often, so it had all of the above, with the exception of 1 without cooking info, 1 saying bake at 250 degrees, and one at 350 degrees. So if you use 250, it might take longer for that toothpick to come out clean. At 350 degrees, check sooner than the suggested 50 minutes. Either way, this is one fantastic cake!
