Hey all, I figured this week that I would change up the pace and share another love I have, the love for cooking. As we have gotten through the holidays and into the new year with our resolutions, we have valentine's day coming. We have calendars packed with upcoming crops and we wonder what can we make for these that everyone will like. I tasted this recipe recently at family get together where one on my in-laws Tom made for dessert. This cake was so moist and rich that you could barely eat a small piece. It was great so I wanted to start off sharing a recipe with you for it. I hope you like it and please feel free to share it with everyone. I hope to put more recipes on my blog in the future. Let me know what you think. Leave me a comment

Hmmm, since I have a cupboard full of homemade jams I may have to give this one a try.

Hi Stefen! How ya doin? You were asking if there was something else you needed to add to your cake mix and there is one thing that I can tell you that would do nothing more than make this thing taste better than it already does sound...a pinch of salt. Salt will bring out the flavors of the already wonderful tasties you have goin on there. I'm Diabtic so have a slice for me :)
