As a mother to seven sons, I love making truly unique cake recipes for each birthday. Everyone just loved this cake. I recommend this to anyone looking to have a nice treat on a special day. Not only does this serve as a birthday cake, but also a decadent tea time sweet. Tea pairing for this cake: either Earl Grey or strongly brewed Moroccan Mint.
