A friend gave me these with the recipe at Christmas many years ago. Very easy. Very tasty! Just leaving a note to point out that Nabisco now makes Preminum MINIS original saltine crackers which make this recipe even easier! The recipe instruction state "finely chopped" walnuts. Finely chopped is very important when using the new minis.

YUMMY! I made this recipe for a retirement party and it was a hit! Make sure to leave plenty of time for cooling before cutting into bars.

Ultimate Lemon Cake

Reviewed: Aug. 24, 2006

Very lemony flavor. I've made this cake twice. The first time,in a rush,I didn't wait the full hour cooling time. The cake fell apart coming out of the pan because the center was still hot. (But it tasted yummy so if at first you don't succeed...:) Second try I added an additional 1/2 cup sugar and 1/4 cup more lemon juice to the cake. Before pouring on the hot glaze I used a metal skewer to poke holes in the cake. This allowed the hot glaze to soak more evenly into the cake. I cooled the cake in the pan 1 hour according to directions, ran a butter knife around the sides of the pan before turning and it came out perfect.

White Chocolate Cake

Reviewed: Jan. 15, 2006

This recipe makes a moist,delicious cake!(I followed the directions exactly and submitted the picture.) There are a few tips I can offer: 1)I recommend a heavy duty mixer, not a light or hand held mixer, to make this frosting. 2)When cooking the white chocolate,flour and milk "until very thick", I cooked it until it started pulling together in a "ball" away from the sides of the saucepan and following the wooden spoon in the pan. 3)The butter for the frosting needs to be at room temperature as does the chocolate mixture. 4)Beat the frosting and beat it more!--it will reach whipped cream consistency and hold up on the cake at room temperature. 5)I recommend making this cake a day ahead of when you plan to serve it and do not refrigerate before serving. The taste and moistness of the cake will be enhanced and the frosting will not be grainy from the white sugar the second day. Definitely not a "make at the last minute" recipe, but well worth the extra time and effort it takes.
