Have you ever tried something so delicious you can barely stand it…and something that you’re even more shocked that you actually made. This is one of those recipes.

This cake is amazing! I made it for my sisters’ birthday and it tasted great. The recipe is easy and the baking time is accurate.
This is the best cake I have ever made. It was delicious! I love this cake. Unlike other types of cakes, they taste better as they get older. I have no problem making it a few days before need other than gobbling it up.
