Notes
This cake is truly a dessert cake - RICH, WARM and WONDERFUL. My ex-boyfriends mom used to make it all the time and I had asked her for the recipe many years ago and just now came across it in an old book.
I made it the first time for Christmas and gave it away to friends and family who fell in love with it. Next time I'm going to experiment with adding the 2 layers into 1 pan and do it all at once, I imagine it would turn out ok.
I think the 2 layers are for visual appeal like the candy bar. Please rate it and let post your thoughts. I'm curious to see if everyone else enjoys it also!!
