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!
