rum-a-lishious ooey gooey tropical extreme cake
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!
