This cake is pretty simple and really tasty. I served this a couple times and at both times it was praised. I prefer it cold but it can be served luke warm/warm.

You can add any fruit you like, I happen to have strawberries. Top with powdered sugar and you’re good to go!

It takes maybe 10 min to put together and 40-45 min to cook. Did I mention it’s an easy cake? 🙂
