This is a fast cake you can throw together in a jiffy, provided you have some Coco Lopez on hand, and who doesn’t keep Coco Lopez in the pantry? Um, me. I had to go buy it, and found not only do they sell it in the booze section of the grocery store, they sell smaller [...]

I’ll be posting the final bake-sale recipes later, but for now, here’s a link to a non-cookie recipe I submitted to Southern Living years ago.
