This cake has a special place in my heart.
My father used to make this cake when I was growing up, its pure deliciousness!
This is a VERY easy version that is sure to please everyone in the family!
What makes these incredible, is the fact that they are the perfect little individual servings!
As you can see, I used one of my all time favorite pans, my Pampered Chef Pan!
I swear this pan is completely awesome.
If you don’t have a pampered Chef pan like this one, you can definitely use a muffin pan, it works just as well.
These are SUPER EASY & quite the little fancy dessert! 🙂
