Hooray for Fall! I love the changing of the seasons. I love the cool nights when I don't quite need the heater on, but still has a chill in the air. I love that I don't need my AC on anymore. Just perfect weather. This is when I break out all those comfy cozy recipes. Soups, stews, hearty warm dishes are what I love about Fall. Like this dessert. It is best served warm with the Vanilla Caramel Sauce drizzled on top-it can't be beat. I love it more than my Pumpkin Cake with Cider Caramel Sauce, which is amazing. You could use this sauce on the Pumpkin Cake if you wanted to . You can also add walnuts to either cake, though I leave mine without.
This recipe came from our neighbor lady when we first moved into our new home when I was 14. She brought it over as a welcoming gift. I ate my piece and walked right over to her house to ask for the recipe. That's the foodie in me. I had to have that recipe. She gladly shared it and I'm forever grateful to Mrs. Halverson, wherever she is.
The first time I make this cake each season, I always end up having two pieces. Why I don't just start with a large piece, I don't know. You'll end up doing the same. The top gets a little crust on it and the inside is so moist and warm.
