Do u put eggs in this?
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.
I’m so glad you came back to rate it and let me know how much you like it. It’s one of my favorites! I hope everyone enjoys the cake. Happy Holidays!
