Ho-Ho cake


This is a recipe was a frequently requested item at our carry ins back in the 80’s. I am cleaning out my recipe box and wanted to share. So good to eat but so bad for the diet!!
Definitely one to share with a crowd!

    This would be great to make in a jellyroll pan & serve as a giant Ho Ho.

    Side note, I just love seeing oleo listed in old recipes (even though I almost always just use butter now) 😆

    I grew up when oleo and Crisco was rampantly used, and I’m still alive! I do miss Crisco. It was a thing of beauty. 😂 Saving this recipe!
