My husband loves cheesecake, so when I told him the name of the cake and he later tasted there was some disappointment. I, on the other hand don't care much for cheesecake because it is almost always so rich and filling. This cake was perfect for me. It had a likeness of cheesecake but without the heaviness.

Turned out terrific but when recipe specifies for frosting to be cooked in a small saucepan, use a medium because the sugar and milk boiled over onto my stove, what a mess! Made it for Superbowl party, had lots of requests for recipe...

I have made this recipe several times for potlucks and it always is a hit. I subsititute regular flour for the cake flour. Still a great dessert.
