We loved this cake. It was so easy and looked so delectable. I think it would be good even without the frosting, but it's so yummy and just puts that finishing touch on the cake. I made exactly as written and I think I'll keep it that way.

I added finely chopped nuts to the frosting for added delight! Everyone loved this cake and my DD requested that I make it for her birthday coming up in October. We can't wait to have it again! Thank you for sharing!
