If anyone has the edition that calls for 2 eggs, with a variation for a Priscilla Cake using 3 eggs and additional sugar, I'd be ever so greatful if you'd share.

Thanks!

Lisa, Your mail box is full and my reply won't go through.....>

It was my pleasure and enjoy your day!

 
Thank you Gail. This one is different from the one I was seeking, but it is

the one that seems to be all over the internet. The "modern" version uses less of all the ingredients and adds vanilla and salt.

I think one day I will make these side by side and have a taste test.....
