My friend JJ shared this recipe with me about a month ago. I was in a rush and needed something homemade. I’m kind of embarrassed that this cake is as simple as it is, but everyone loves it. I’ve made it 5 times since he gave me the recipe. The only problem is getting it to the destination…I have a fork in my car for emergency situations. Thanks again JJ for this Southern delight!
