This recipe IS the one my mother made for years and I LOVE it. However, cooking time is based on a lot of variables like humidity and each oven's heat regulator, so I'd suggest cooking time of 30-40 minutes, testing doneness with the toothpick method. Mom always tripled the filling recipe (YUM). The frosting should be beaten until no longer glossy and then IMMEDIATELY drizzled onto filling (it will not spread like other frostings, it's more like fudge). DEFINITELY worth the effort!
