I cannot describe how much I love this cake! It is so gooey and moist and just plain heavenly. The way it bakes and the cream cheese mixture oozes to the top and gets crusty - Oh. My. Goodness. It is so good in fact, that I made it in two square pans to give a way and a miniature one to keep at home. Otherwise, I would eat the entire 9x13 pan and we just can't have that, now can we?

Oooo... I love this recipe... It has been a favorite for years! It is just as good as you make it look. :) Good idea on the two pans... I will have to remember that!
ReplyDeleteI will always remember you bringing me this after I had Taylor. It is one of my most favorite deserts in the world!

I am wondering who got the other ones - it wasn't me. And, for future reference, my FAVORITE kind of cake is german chocolate.
ReplyDeleteThis definitely looks to die for. I wish I could just eat it off the screen.
ReplyDeleteWe were the lucky winners of cake number 2. At this point, I'm glad I'm pregnant because the 5 pounds I gained by eating the entire cake myself will (hopefully) go unnoticed. Thank you! Thank you!
