This has never turned out for me since I have been married. It has always fallen out of the pan when it was cooling. But, I recently discovered that I was not baking it long enough. I had trouble reading my handwriting, as I was only a young girl when I first wrote the recipe and thought I wrote “20 minutes” instead of “30”. It works much better now that I am baking it longer.

Personal Notes:
This was a family favorite when I was a kid. We always ate it with whipped cream (no Cool Whip in those days). One summer Orland paid me 5 cents/week if I would make one of these every day. What a deal for me!
