Cherry Roll Cake
Old Recipe Detective Blog Request

 The request: "I am looking for an old recipe my husband says was called Cherry Roll, that his mom made when he was young. He said it was off the Bisquick box back in the 50's. It was not a roll, but a cake with the consistency between cake and cheesecake and the cherries were in the batter. No icing or topping. He says it was VERY moist. I've never seen nor had it, so I'm going on his memory. Thanks."
