When I show up at my mom’s, quite often she has a dessert baked. I’ll admit that I get the best ideas from her. One-Pot Cabbage Casserole is a reader favorite, and I owe that one to her.
Well, this Old-Fashioned Cajun Cake is no exception! I went over there one day and got to sample this cake. I immediately asked for the recipe, so I could share it with you guys.
