O.M.G.
This dessert is amazing. It’s seriously the best dessert I’ve had in a long, long time! I think it’s restaurant quality and yet it’s so simple.
A couple friends of mine made this dessert the same day I made it. They ate it all in two days and then made it again! I ended up eating most of ours so I didn’t need to make a 2nd batch.
Seriously – you have to make this (but not when you’re supposed to be on a diet)…
The original recipe comes from Lauren’s Latest here. The only change I made was to reduce the white sugar in the cake from 3/4 cup to 2/3 cup. It’s a pretty sweet dessert to begin with, so I felt that reducing the sweetness of the cake was a good idea.
Make it and let me know what you think! It’s a keeper!
