Laurie’s Cake
I made a huge pot of spaghetti sauce on Saturday and as is my usual practice I sent a message to some of our local friends to bring a container and take some home with them. A couple new to our neighborhood came down and we had a few drinks and decided to extend the evening into dinner. I had lots of spaghetti, salad and some homemade French bread but didn’t have any dessert. Looking around the kitchen I realized I had the ingredients to make a Laurie’s Cake. The cake is named after our daughter-in-law, as it was created by a request she made for a simple, not too sweet dessert a few years ago.
This cake can be put together in a matter of minutes and is always a hit.
