You Will Fall Head Over Heels For this Incredible Cake

One of the nice things about this dessert is that it is easy to take with you. Trust me on this one! I have baked a beautiful dessert and when we left the house it was amazing but by the time we arrived at our destination, well let’s just say it looked like a 6-year-old made it.

Being able to take this to any potluck or gathering and a can of whipped topping or freshly whipped cream and just add a dollop at serving time is going to make your life so much easier.
