Wow - now THIS is a cake (made it today for our daughter's birthday). PB and chocolate lovers only!

It was easy, light, moist...decadent....incredibly delicious (tasted just like the old Drakes Funnybones!)

I cook, but I never even made a cake from a box until I was out of college. But it's so perfect that I'm tempted to give it a try.

Great find, my friend, and I hope your daughter had a wonderful birthday. With you on the job, I'm sure it was super!

Hope life is finding you well.

Thanks - it was a nice dinner - we had both Caitlin and her big grumpy sister Sara - did the first salsa of the season....dinner was scallops over collards with asparagus. The cake was the star!

Off to play in the dirt as usual....people really want our seedlings this year!
