Be sure to use at least 35% butterfat heavy cream.
There’s no butter in this cake, just the cream itself. So it has to be awfully high fat cream to do the job that 80% butterfat butter would normally do.
From the box of A.D. from Lutz, Florida, by way of Pennsylvania in the 1940s, and originating in Ohio in the 1920s.
