We gave this recipe a try for the first time boy how surprised we were to find out how much everyone loved it, especially the kids! Usually, they only like something that's loaded with sugar, chocolate, and every sprinkle in the house, so imagine our surprise when they came up asking for a second piece. And it was fun to have them get involved with making the cake - because that always seems to make something taste even better.  This is a dessert that isn’t just a kid-friendly dessert, but everyone-friendly, and it's easy to share with a neighbor as a welcome to the neighborhood or as a part of a care package.
