This "cake" really seems to be two big Salisbury type steaks sandwiched together, and little different way to use hamburger.
It is from a Jan. 1976 Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce newspaper ad. The text warns against accepting any imitation sauce. Good cooks "know imitations just can't stand up to its unique, original flavor."
