Review: Some selections sound mouth-watering. Clearer writing needed.

This book needs an editor. Sometimes the directions were not very clear. I saw at least one recipe which did not say what type of pan to use. Since there was a similar apple cake recipe near the beginning of the book, I presumed this one also used a tube pan, considering the baking time. It would have been nice if similar recipes were near each other. One recipe, the prune cake, I am pretty sure was not meant to have a "stressful" topping but a "streusel" topping. I know this is showing I have also misspelled that word, but I have tried about 15 times, and the predictive text will only allow that word if I accept it to the exclusion of all others. For those wondering about the butternut flavoring, it is, I believe, an old-fashioned flavoring. You might try the Watkins company.
