Cake

 

1 stick butter
8 oz pkg cream cheese
1 ¼ cup sugar
1 tsp baking soda
2 cups flour

    LOL Danielle, every time i’ve tried butter, the crumbs came out screwy… and the person who gave me the recipe 20+ years ago specified butter & margarine! Hahaha!!
    I don’t do well waiting overnight either… i’ll lay the crumbs on a cookie sheet and put in the freezer til they are rock hard. AND thank you for making a HALF batch… i’ve always wanted to do that, cause a jelly roll pan size is great for a party, but not a random wednesday! <3 Terry
