"What I love about cooking is that after a hard day,
there is something comforting about the fact that
if you melt butter and add flour, then hot stock, it will get thick! It's a sure thing.
It's a sure thing in a world where nothing is sure!"

1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon of milk

2.)Add eggs and beat well.
3.) Add dry ingredients gradually and mix well.
1.) Grease a 9x13x2 pan.

3.) Then pour in cream cheese mixture and bake in an oven heated 325� for 1 hour.
4.) Remove cake from oven and top with the following mixture:
1 1/2 cups sour cream
White sugar to taste
2 teaspoon vanilla
1.) Thoroughly combine the sour cream, sugar and vanilla.
2.) Spread mixture over the top of your cake and return it to the oven for 5 more minutes.
3.) Then remove cake from oven and cool well before cutting.
4.) Top with with strawberries, blueberries, or cherries if you want to, or just eat it plain! This is an ideal cake to make when you've got a lot of folks comin' over, on account of it's so rich you can slice it up pretty small. It's rare for somebody to eat more than one little piece, especially if you add berries.
and the best of intentions for whoever wants to try 'em,
but if somethin' goes wrong, don't blame the varmint.*
