My thoughts: I created this cake recipe thinking I could enter it into the RWOP contest (dessert week is coming!) It simply took too long to completely cook and set though (the contest has a one hour limit). I had to post it here for you all though because it was SO tasty! Enjoy!
That is absolutely decadence. Thanks for linking this up to Sweets for a Saturday.
Wow this looks rich and delicious. The slice of cake looks like you could reach into the screen and bite right into it.
