rum-a-lishious ooey gooey tropical extreme cake
(7 ratings)
This wonderful cake is the result of my cleaning out the fridge, to get ready for Thanksgiving, and Paula Deen's wonderful "Ooey Gooey Cake". I added pineapple, cherries, coconut, pecans, some flour and a little rum to Paul Deen's out of this world good ooey gooey cake and the results were amazing! I would have been perfectly happy with Paul Deen's orignal recipe but I just can't toss out good ingredients even if I am trying to make room in the fridge. End result; one clean fridge & one tropical cream-cheesy oozing with goodness cake that will be served on Thanksgiving. Enjoy!
