After tasting this cake at my church’s homecoming, I became a huge fan – and so did my family. This cake has been a huge hit when I first started making it for my church’s bake sales and thankfully now, other people will be able to make it too so I can take a breather now and then! My family has finally stopped asking me so much to make this cake so rather than having to bake one every other day, I can now do it once a week and still keep our family and church happy.

You can also see my other recipes on this site especially my world famous 5 Flavor Pound Cake that will make you say a wonderful prayer for it’s creamy goodness! Next up, I’ll be sharing some of my famous casserole dishes along with so simple Crock Pot dishes you can make. I know how time just slips away from so many of us, so these dishes are quick and easy to make but tastes like you spent all day slaving away.
