Happy 2018 y’all! I trust that everyone is having a great start to 2018. Mine is going okay. I jokingly posted that I was leaving this cake in 2017, but then I found a large jar in the pantry.
So this happened.
This cake is the reason Nutella has been banned from my house. Its the perfect cake to eat with your morning coffee. I call it a breakfast appetizer.
Enjoy!
