Love this cake!
I made this last week for our Sunday Dinner on the deck. All the family was here so that means 17 hungry grandchildren running around. We gave the kids ice cream bars and the adults (mostly the ladies) gathered around the table and devoured every bit of this 9x12 cake. We just kept cutting off little pieces as we chatted. We told the kids - "this is the grown up dessert."
The recipe (and picture) is from Cinnamon and Spice and Everything Nice
