I was just thinking about Spanish Bar Cake the other day. My grandmother used to buy them at A&P, which she always referred to as the “tea store”. Thank you for the recipe!
I’m anxious to try that recipe, and see how close she came to what I remember. Until Miss Marmelstein mentioned A&P, I hadn’t thought of it in ages. It’s a great little cake for the holidays.

I have no idea what a Spanish Bar Cake is. My early memories of the A&P were their brand name “Ann Page” and that they sold encyclopedias as the end of the checkout! They still have the 8 o’clock coffee with the grinder at checkout.
We used to miss Ebinger cakes. They brought it back in its traditional mint-green box but didn’t sell well, unfortunately.
My Dad loved Spanish Bar Cake. Huge disappointment for us kids when we just wanted CHOCOLATE CAKE!! lol btw, My uncle worked for A&P for years. I think there are a few left.
