Make sure it is all incorperated. Pour into a springform pan and bake at 350 degrees for one hour. Then leave door closed for one hour; and then oven door ajar for last5 hour (3 in all). Cake is creamy and smooth and may crack a bit on top. Good reason to make a strawberry topping.
*Could use Cinnamon Crisp Cookies instead.
Notes from submitter: This cake was given to Jeannie Toll by one of Mort's old girlfriends about 37 years ago. She gave it to me when Mort and I told her about our engaement...hence the title. Betty Mondress gave me her 'recipe' card as mine dissappeared years ago. I used my copy of the LEVITTOWN SISTERHOOD COOKBOOK; (Pa..circa 1957) until it disintegrated. Of course I submitted it as my own...<G>. Ellen, did you know that? Mom was 'bad'in her younger days!!!
