april fools cake
This is a deliciously moist and fun cake because it has a surprise ingredient! You can just dust it with powdered sugar or use the sour cream chocolate frosting....it reminds me of the texture of carrot cake. Both photos courtesy of Terri Opgenorth and Nancy J. Patrykus. Thank you ladies.
