This is truly the best dirt cake recipe and it's sooo easy to make! I grew up having this for my birthday cake every year. We lost the recipe and just kind of forgot about it until I found it on this website! Super excited :)

Easy to make and the kids liked it. Photo is of small individual serving size "pots". The rest went into a large serving bowl. Cool dessert! PAC Spring '07
