"This is a amazingly delicious cake that everyone will love! it’s a pretty impressive dessert for being so simple to put together. It’s a great dessert for a crowd, or pot luck, because you can make it ahead of time and it actually tastes better the longer you let it hang out in the fridge! From chewnibblenosh Blog and adapted from Paula Deen, and a very popular cake recipe!"
