You guys are seriously going to thank me for this recipe! I was honestly in a little in shock that I had forgotten about it and not shared it with you sooner. This recipe is from a Grandma and one of those secret gems that every time you eat it, you wonder why you don’t make this every time you need or want a cake! It legit melts in your mouth!
Is it a guilt free dessert? Absolutely NOT! But, honestly, you won’t care the second you take your first bite! Do you see those strips of butter drip down the cake piece? It literally melts in your mouth!
