    Do u put eggs in this?

    1. Melissa

      No eggs. I know it’s unusual to see a cake recipe with no eggs, but this one doesn’t need any eggs.

      This is so good! I didn’t have heavy whipping cream for the sauce, but substituted half n half cause I had that. Made a triple batch of the cake and it made two good 9x13s.
