The Cake

I love food...who doesn't! There are really very few things I will not eat. Included in this list is liver and onions (yuck!). Tres Leches cake was also on the list. I always felt it was a textural nightmare. It reminded me of birthdays past when it came time to eat cake and ice cream. When you were done, all that was left on the plate was a mess of melted ice cream and cake crumbs that had turned gritty. Gross right?!

Well that was this cake...until now. I spotted the recipe on a blog post from the wonderful Ree Drummond ( aka: The Pioneer Woman)

My husband has begged me for this cake and I always protested in disgust. When I read Ree's recipe I felt she had maybe given this cake and I some chance of making amends.

Today was a special day. Our one year wedding anniversary. So I lovingly made this cake. I let it chill in the fridge so it was a cool sweet treat and we ate it for dessert after dinner.

Let me just say that I am a changed woman and my husband had to rip the fork from my hand and take away the dish the cake was made in. That was only because I had finished the piece served to me and moved right to the source.

Here is a side shot of the cake so you can see how decadent and simple it is
