Wow, these are excellent Nif. sweet, tart and delicious. The butter cake is a lovely suprise, flavorful, tender and light. Thank you for sharing a new family favorite. This dessert is perfect, made for CQ4- Central America. Kudos to you on making it into my Best of Cookbook for 2017.

Delicious! I absolutely love the topping, and couldn't help but sneak all the extra bits as I cut this (we'll just keep that our little secret, right?) So easy to throw together, and uses ingredients I have on hand. I use sweetened shredded coconut, as the recipe didn't specify. Thanks, Nif!! Made for PRMR Tag.
