PHILLY TANDY TAKES
The Tastykake brand of snack cakes and pies has been associated with Philadelphia, PA since the early 1900's. In the late 70's, the name was changed to Kandy Kakes. As a child living in West Virginia, we could not get these goodies (we had Moon Pies and Little Debbies)so my Jersey relatives would ship boxes of them to us. My favorite was the peanut butter Tandy Takes. The following recipe is a close facsimile.

Tips:
- Use room temperature butter. This will make it easier to cream together with the sugar and eggs, resulting in a lighter and fluffier cake.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cakes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. This will help to prevent them from drying out.
- Let the cakes cool completely before frosting them. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
- If you don't have a stand mixer, you can use a hand mixer to make the batter. Just be sure to mix on low speed so that you don't overmix the batter.
- These cakes can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them for up to 2 months.
