I clicked on the mitts thinking it would open up a review screen and it registered at three mitts. NOOOOO! This recipe is TEN mitts!
I made this cake for my brother-in-law’s birthday and it was flippin perfect! It almost put him in a sugar coma! He ate THREE pieces! It was soooo good. OK, I ate two healthy sized pieces myself. Irk.
I, on the other hand, get three mitts for 1) accidently buying sliced pineapple insted of crushed and having to chop, chop, CHOP and 2) for not being patient and flipping the cake before it was cool – it broke in half but there was enough frosting to glue it all together and they never knew! Ha!
