KATO BABY

Thanks for sharing this great recipe Pat. We all loved it. I shared it with my sil and neighbor. It was exactly what I was missing; this recipe filled the craving perfectly. The cake was spicy, sweet, dense, tender and delicious. The frosting was perfection and complimented the cake perfectly.
