This is a Paula Deen recipe, so you know it's good! We make this cake for all occasions. It's our preferred party cake! You can substitute the glaze for any glaze you prefer (maple, coconut, etc). We ice it with Wilton's buttercream, or we just toss some pecans on the top and let the glaze work its magic! Read more SupSuper e See less
