About the Recipe
Thank the good Lord above for Aunt Carol who blessed us with this recipe. (For you church goers…taste and see because the Lord IS GOOD!) It is as crazy good as it sounds. Yup…it starts with a boxed yellow cake mix. This is one of those recipes that will please a crowd. Going to dinner with friends? Offer to make dessert and then bring this! There will be silence around the table because it is just too amazing to talk while eating this. Expect to cut huge pieces of this. In the morning you will eat it again with the rational that it’s “coffee cake” and that is perfectly legitimate! Now, let’s all shout a collective “thank you” to Aunt Carol!
