I love getting “suggested posts” on my Facebook page, especially when they include a picture of a delicious-looking recipe. That’s how I discovered this recipe (from myincrediblerecipes.com) … and I made it recently when the AAA Ladies celebrated Peggy’s birthday. It got two thumbs up from everyone too!
By the way, I’m not sure where the silly name came from, because you definitely have to “do something” to make this delightful cake. But if you try it, I think you’ll agree that it’s certainly worth it! Send us a picture if you decide to make it too!
