Made this for my sons 1st birthday, and for 3 chefs contest. I made it with homemade whipped cream cheese frosting, and loved it! I had extra leftover batter since I made my sons cake small, so I decided to make cake pops with the remainder for his party, and they came out great! Everyone loved them!!! Great recipe, thanks!

I NOW LIVE IN "THE VALLEY". I live, work, go to shul, shop and socialize all within about a 6 miles radius, and I love it. I love to read, write, go to movies, sing and cook. And eat. And I unapologetically love TV. I adore my dog, Tuffy, and my amazing HUSBAND, NOT boyfriend, CZ. AND MY GORGEOUS BABY GIRL, A. I stole my Mom's tattered copy of 'Joy of Cooking' MORE THAN a few years ago. She's still looking for it. It's just good reading, ya know? I grew up on Jeff Smith and Julia Child, and I miss them both on PBS.
