We first tried this cake a few months ago when Jennifer brought it to dinner at the Dato-on's house. It was incredible! I asked Jennifer for the recipe and she graciously shared it with our family.
We made this while on vacation at Running Y in Oregon with Papa & Nama, and Uncle Lee & Auntie Shea and all your cousins. We doubled the recipe and made two sheet cakes. It was incredible! We had such a great time on that vacation; we went swimming, ice skating, played tennis in the snow, and had a wonderful time. Uncle Dave & Aunt Sandy even came down for a few days. We had such a great time at our "vacation house".
Hannah told me yesterday that she would make this for me for my birthday in a few days. Yippee! I can't wait to eat it! Yummy!
Love Always,
Mommy
