Recipe from: The Lady & Sons Just Desserts In the early days of The Bag Lady, this cake was definitely one of those foods on the top of my customers' love list. I made sure that I baked and served it at least once a week. Read more . I hope you love it too. This cake freezes very well and is a great treat to have on hand for unexpected or drop-in company.
