What is the correct pan size? 9x13, 9 in. square, 9 in. round, 8 in. round?
What size cake pan?
I know it's dangerous to assume, but I will go out on a limb and assume that, when that recipe was written, a 9" round pan would be indicated if the size of the pan was not specified.
Didn't have enough walnuts so I toasted a cup of oatmeal and added that. It was good, didn't really need the syrup.
